- Light Flight: Jessica Pixie Exhibiton March 17, 2024 at 10:28 pm
03/18/24 @ 12:00am - 03/23/24 @ 12:00am Sharpsburg Jessica Pixie is a symbolist folk artist. She writes, creates, and takes inspiration from the not-so-secret magic of the natural world. Her work is about what is underneath and within. She is always in collaboration with energies unseen. She translates grief - her intent is not to erase pain, but to integrate it and find beauty in the wreckage. Her mediums include fibers, paint, and light. The exhibit will be on view daily during library hours through 4/5. Join us for a closing reception on 4/5 from 6 to 9pm during First Fridays! Prints of her work will be available one-night only during the closing reception. Instagram: @jessicapixiestudios Website: https://www.jessicapixie.com/
