Meet the Artist, Beverly Barris

This year’s magazine cover is taken from an original oil painting by local artist Beverly Barris. The painting is based on Westlake scenery photos taken by our art director and publisher of the WLMA Magazine, Tom Violand. In keeping with the theme of this year’s magazine, ”Our Lake Environment.” Beverly has captured all of the elements that make up our unique lake environment. The original 22” x 28” framed painting will hang in the WLMA office. See more of Beverly’s work at www.barrisart.com
