West Leesville Elementary — in partnership with the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development, Gallery One Elleven and the Leesville Art Park — recently dedicated the “Vernon Parish Wildflowers” mural at the school’s location on Abe Memorial Drive in Leesville.

The mural was painted by artist Liz Cornett of Smoking Monk Studios. Cornett worked with art students at West Leesville Elementary to assist in the final design.
