Four works of art by Fillmore artist, Wana Klasen are included in a group exhibit sponsored by the Ventura County Arts Council shown in the Atrium Gallery of the Hall of Administration, Ventura County Government Center located 800 S. Victoria in Ventura. The exhibit is entitled "Art Saves Lives" and highlights the healing powers of the arts, a concept long held by Klasen, a retired Registered Nurse.

Klasen's work reflects the joy of healing through artistic expression, and centers on the energetic, colorful images of her Earthsong Collection as well as other water color and mixed media works. Wana teaches water color class at the Fillmore Senior Center on Thursday mornings..

The exhibit runs now through August 27, 2014, and can be seen 8-5, Monday through Friday. Call 658-2213 for further information.
