NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center at
Vanderbilt University will open "Feeling Sun," an exhibition of works
by local painter Melanie Jackson, Tuesday, March 2, at a reception 4 to
6 p.m. at the center.
Jackson will be on hand to discuss her works at the event.
The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. The
exhibit will be on display at the Women’s Center March 2 through April
30.
Jackson is primarily a self-taught artist and gives credit to local
art centers and a dear friend for much of her training. The gardens,
fields and woods surrounding her home outside Leipers Fork, Tenn., are
a source of inspiration for the artist.
