Don’t miss your chance to see exquisite original pieces by Texas-born artist Jeremy Serna! Join the Southlake Arts Council and the APEX Arts League on Sunday, September 10 at 5:00 PM in the Town Hall Lobby for a public art reception.
Serna owns Painting with Friends and is a self-taught artist. He began exploring art early on, working with pastels, acrylics, and watercolors. He studied immensely to get where he is today and gives back to other emerging artists by teaching art classes virtually and in his studio. In addition, Serna is represented in several cities in Texas, including Llano, Waco, Fredericksburg, Canton, and Eureka Springs, AR, and Ventura, CA, and with several private collectors. He won the Overall Artist award in 2020 at the Stars of Texas Paint Off Competition. Jeremy Serna was also a featured artist at this year’s Art in the Square Festival.
