Join us for a beautiful art exhibition February 5 - April 2
Creativity shapes our lives, empowering us to discover new directions. Explore an exhibition tracing the impact of nationally known, Licking County artist Mary Sherwood Wright Jones (1892-1985). Widely recognized for her children’s illustrations, her fine artworks are featured here for the first time. In a legacy that spans generations, this exhibition traces that gift through the paintings and photographs of two of her grandchildren, Michael Kennedy, Anne Sherwood Pundyk, and one of her great-children, Phoebe Pundyk. The exhibition shares Jones’ life lessons with viewers, perhaps inspiring ideas about ways to embrace creativity in their own lives.
Opens Saturday, February 5 • 9 AM - 4 PM
Denison University is the 2022 Sponsor of the Marcia W. Downes Art Gallery.
