Arts enthusiasts are invited to view the latest installation in the Tibbott Gallery. Local painter Jodi Hays is exhibiting her work on USN’s campus.
Hays is an abstract artist who reclaims textiles, fabric, cardboard, and other items combined with painting what she describes as “a form of note-taking and organizing knowledge” to create multidimensional works of art. From Arkansas, Hays’ work is heavily influenced by themes of the American South.
“I come from gardeners, teachers, believers, sinners, moon-lighting loggers, makers, milliners, cooks, healers, pharmacists, and grocers. I come from the American South, a place where the kitchen and pharmacy are the same room,” Hays said. “In many ways, I see my work as that same room — an expansive space for building and coming together.”
As students pass through the halls of the Tibbott Center, they’ll witness Hays’ brilliant works. Families are welcome to view the gallery during regular school operating hours and should follow standard guidelines for visiting campus. To learn more about Hays, visit her website here.
