Lewisburg, WV (May 6, 2014) - The Greenbrier County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is hosting a new exhibit featuring fiber artist Suzanne Williams, during the month of May as part of the CVB's rotating Art in the Valley exhibit.

Williams works with silk and natural fibers as well as "found" objects to create paper and fabric which becomes the base of her artwork. She has been passionate about fiber art and needlepoint since childhood and uses nature as her primary subject matter.

Williams' artwork will be on display through May 31st.
