Did you know that the City of Lewisville has a poet laureate? Neither did I. Yoonsoo Nam is also an accomplished painter. Her new solo exhibit, Art in Life, will hang 10am-5pm thru Sat, Apr 22, in the Education Wing Gallery of the Lewisville Grand Theater (100 N Charles, 972-219-8446). “Art makes life more beautiful and meaningful. I am thankful to see my paintings become a part of people’s life and fill not only their rooms but also their hearts with beauty and peace from Him.” (As her works are focused on heaven, “Him” would be Jesus.) There is no cost to attend.
