My church, University Baptist in Hattiesburg, recently remodeled the Parlor into an Art Gallery through a generous gift from the family of the late Phyllis Downey, a dear friend and artist. We believe there is a strong connection between Faith and the Arts and will enjoy celebrating creativity here. The first exhibit was acrylics by Myra Meade, followed by exciting children's art they created this summer during their Mission Bible Days. Currently the exhibit is fiber art by Gloria Green and me. The exhibit will hang through December.

Sorry for the poor quality of this photo. The pieces are Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, and are framed under glass, making it hard to eliminate the glare. Fire is on loan from a private collection.

Gee, you're very prolific! It all looks nice. Have fun with it.
Thanks, Ellen.....we had the Reception today and it was so rewarding to be able to share and explain some of the pieces to viewers.
Having Baptist grandparents, this is amazing. You should be proud! Glad your work was well received.
Thanks, Karen. Yes, I am proud to be a member of this amazing church. We have a billboard that says "Jesus welcomed everyone. So do we." And that says it very well.
Great space and fantastic artwork therein! As you likely know, I share your vision that faith and art work miracles together!

Thanks, Susan, and yes, I know we share this vision; your work always has meaning. Let me say congratulations again on your TED talk. We need to be reminded again to use and enjoy our treasures and share them with others!
Great venue for showing the fiber art. I recognize your beautiful pieces.
Thanks for letting us visit, I enjoyed the show!
Thanks, Vivian and Ruth, for stopping by! You both know what a joy it is to share our art.
Congratulations, Martha (and Gloria)! It's always good to see you sharing your work and prospering in the use of your gifts.
Thanks, Marcus...if you're in Hattiesburg I hope you'll stop by before the end of December to see the exhibit in person. The church is usually open 8-4 Mon-Thu, 8-noon Fridays. (Call 601-264-6908 to check during holidays.)
