This is an exciting new collection of mixed media works by Tracy inspired by poetry and prose. Through layers of color, texture and form, each piece reinterprets literary moments in a visual way. Viewers are invited to explore the connections between storytelling and art, offering a fresh perspective on popular narratives and familiar themes. The First Friday Reception to Meet the Artist is May 2 from 5-8:30pm.

Edie Greene is a self-taught artist who works in many mediums including photography, fiber art and painting. She grew up in the Midwest near Chicago and made her way west over three decades, living in rural and urban settings in California, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

She forages for branches in her travels and uses recycled cotton rope and wool roving to create colorful and textured landscapes. Come by PPP in the Historic Liberty Building in May to see Edie's work ~ stop by First Friday May 2nd from 5pm until 8:30 to meet Edie in person!
