The Journey of my Avant-Gardes by Artist: MEJ…The Legacy (Mary E. Jones)

Open now. Ends March 31st, 2020. 10:00am – 7:00pm

Through adversity of my life’s journey, I created positivity and tapped into love from within, making unique and peculiar pieces for the eye of the beholder.

Using layers of magazine; newspaper; tissue paper cuttings; rhinestones and special glue.

Memorabilia’s of inspiration; celebratory and motivational in hopes to encourage, enlighten and empower people of all cultures throughout the world.

Artist’s Statement:  Art is the expression from our soul, liberating our imagination to explore and create from within.

With a keen eye for details, our inspiration comes from… a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of everything. Like my “A-gardes” consist of layering magazines, newspapers, tissue paper cuttings together with rhinestones and several colors and materials.

Each piece of my art is made with love, a true testament of my life’s journey, in hopes to inspiring a difference and empowering awareness through my “Avant-gardes”…. Art preserved to enrich one’s life forever.

Take a moment and embrace my art…. No vision is beyond me… Enjoy what you see through your own eyes! Enjoy what you see through your own eyes! 

On view in the Community Room of Lower Level 2 of the library.
