Landscapes to be featured in guild’s gallery

Landscapes by Keith Noble will be showcased throughout July in Boulder City Art Guild’s gallery.

Noble began painting while living in Carlsbad, California, inspired by the seascapes and landscape of the coast.

In 1994, he moved to Las Vegas, where he was inspired by the beauty of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, the desert, Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Mount Charleston. Much of his painting is done outdoors.

Although primarily self-taught, Noble has taken several art classes.

He joined the Boulder City Art Guild in late 2017.

Noble’s work will be on display throughout the month. The galley is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.

The gallery is inside the Boulder Dam Hotel, 1305 Arizona St.
