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. Gladys Ave. For more
