Susan LeVan is the featured artist this August at the Roby King Gallery in downtown Winslow.

A special artist reception event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1 during First Friday in Winslow.

LeVan’s art is about her lifelong obsession with wild animals and how they teach us to be in the world. This body of work — developed two years ago after a trip to Alaska to observe bears in their natural habitat — will be on display in the downtown gallery throughout the month.

Roby King Galleries is located at 176 Winslow Way East.
