Join us at an opening reception for artist Louise Couillard-Ziperman on Saturday, Sept. 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the library's Craine Gallery. Couillard-Ziperman's paintings in watercolor, acrylic and pastel are on display in the gallery through September. All are welcome.

Couillard-Ziperman studied at the Longeuil Art Center in Canada and was introduced to watercolor 15 years ago when she studied with the artist Gail Brown of Provincetown. She has also studied with Kelly Knowles, Patsy Aguero, David Dunlop, Johannes Voolthuis, Robert Mesrop and Ann Hart. The unique quality of Cape Cod's light, and her travels, inspire the subjects of her paintings.

Born and raised in Lithuania, Erika Zvilnaite found her artistic voice after moving to Orleans. Painting became her way to navigate new beginnings, blending memories of home with the light and landscapes of Cape Cod. Snow Library has been a sanctuary for her curiosity and creativity, a place where books and light inspired her journey of self-discovery.

This 20-year retrospective traces 20 years of Zvilnaite’s evolution as an artist. It unfolds in three chapters. Beginnings in Oil features vibrant flowers and horses, symbols of hope and renewal. Exploring Place and Medium captures Cape Cod’s landscapes in acrylics, casein, and watercolor as a meditation on memory and transformation. And Into the Subconscious reflects the fluidity and depth of the inner world through introspective watercolors, guided by dreams and emotion.
