The artwork of Deni- sia Leon is featured during the month of January at the Hermiston Public Library. While attending Oregon State University, the 2014 Hermiston High School graduate fell in love with printmaking. She created a “zodiac series” by carv- ing out the signs on a piece of linoleum and then using a press to print them. Most of the small prints featured in the exhibit are a result of Leon’s senior show. “My goal is to make art that I love and will always be proud of,” she said. The library is open Mon- day through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fri- day/Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’s located at 235 E.
