Edmonds' Gallery North presents "Fanciful Thoughts" paintings by Leah Rene Welch. She is a self-taught artist and has been painting professionally for 10 years, predominantly in oils. Welch said she is inspired by the varied dramatic and subtle beauty of her native Northwest.

"Fanciful Thoughts" runs through Aug. 31.
