Monroeville area events: Free pancake dinner, health care Mass, more

Apollo artist featured at Monroeville Public Library

The Friends of the Monroeville Public Library are hosting artist Rosemary Muller at the Elaine Biondi Gallery Space this month.

Muller, who is from Apollo, specializes in drawing and painting animal portraits, and enjoys sharing the beauty of nature through her art. In addition to informal study under the late Carol Salyers, she is self-taught and uses realism and a high level of detail to capture the shape and character of her subjects.

Muller’s collection will be on display at the library’s gallery space, 4000 Gateway Campus Blvd., through Feb. 27.
