Carrie Nenstiel is the Leeds Arts Council’s featured artist in June.

The public is invited to the opening reception on June 10, 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the Leeds Arts Center to view her paintings. 

Carrie Nenstiel is a Birmingham area artist who works in oil and watercolor. Carrie began painting as a teenager and went on to receive her BA in Art from Auburn University in 2009. Her work is on display in various galleries in Alabama and at The Market at Pepperplace.

Carrie incorporates thick texture and thin layers within the same work to accomplish an ascetic that helps her paintings feel accessible yet unique. She is known for both abstract works in oil and watercolor paintings that reflect her southern surroundings through the use of flora and landmarks. Carrie also enjoys incorporating elements found in nature into various small works such as wood or oyster shells.

Nenstiel’s art will be on exhibit through July 7.  Admission is free. You may view examples of her work at:  https://carrienenstielart.myshopify.com/

The Arts Center is located at 8140 Parkway Drive, in downtown Leeds.  The gallery is open during events.  In case of inclement weather, call the center at 205-699-1892 to confirm opening hours.
