Jenny Green, "Ozarks Blooming"

In its upcoming art exhibit, Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) will be featuring the work of Jenny Green of Springfield. The exhibit will run from May 3 to June 1 at the SMAC Art Center gallery on historic Downing Street in Hollister. An opening night reception will be held Friday, May 3, from 6-9 p.m. in conjunction with Hollister’s First Friday Art Walk. Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Attendees may view the exhibit, tour the private studios and enjoy complimentary refreshments. The Vintage Paris Coffee kiosk will also be on site.

Green is a multi-talented artist, whose deep exploration into botany influenced her screen-printed artwork in this exhibit. She chose flowers common to the Ozarks and created numerous monoprints of each one. These large-scale florals are exquisite in their botanical accuracy and detail. Each piece is created with a unique color combination. Green will also have greeting cards available for purchase.

Each month during their exhibits, SMAC highlights one of the many local non-profit organizations that serves the area. This month SMAC is drawing attention to Faith Community Health, a Christian faith-based charitable clinic offering income-based health services in Branson. Their services include medical, pediatrics, mental health and vision. For donations, information or scheduling contact:info@faithcommunityhealth.org.
