Artist of the Month: Wesley Klehm
Wesley Klehm is a Florida-based astrophotographer who captures deep-sky images from his backyard, turning a pandemic-era hobby into a full-on obsession. He got started in 2020 after photographing the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction with a smartphone, and he’s been chasing better gear, better technique, and clearer skies ever since. Now the President of the Central Florida Astronomical Society, Wesley loves the mix of science, patience, and creativity that comes with imaging the night sky. He’s especially passionate about sharing his work locally and helping spark curiosity about space, whether that’s through public events, community conversations, or simply getting people to look up and wonder what’s out there.
Show Your Art in the Library
Maitland Public Library presents exhibits by local and regional artists on a monthly basis. Past exhibits include the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild, Robin Van Arsdol, the late Johann Eyfells, Lindy Elmore Art, and Chris Carr Fine Art. The library has a hook and chain system available in display areas appropriate for gallery ready art (frame with eyehooks or wires on the back as appropriate). Artwork may only be hung on specific walls in the Library. The artist installs the exhibit on the first of the month and removes the exhibit on the last day of the month.
