Jake Wells work on display at Kelsen

An exhibit of art by the late Jake Wells will be on display at the Kelsen Gallery, 13 S. Spanish St.

Wells, who died in 1999, was a Southeast art professor who became well known for his public murals and for his collection of watercolors depicting Missouri mills. The exhibit is being sponsored by the gallery and by the Southeast Missouri State University Foundation.

The work in the exhibit has been gleaned from private collections. Many of the pieces have rarely or never been shown before.

The exhibition will continue through Nov. 29. The gallery is open from 1-5 p.m. weekdays.
