The Maryville Public Library has the black and gray oil paintings of Elizabeth Jeffries, Maryville. The library is open 9 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday, and 9 am to 3 pm, Saturday.
Jeffries started her art career as a junior in high school. During her college years, she took art classes as a break from classes that led to her degree in early childhood elementary education from Northwest Missouri State University. She has a minor in art.
The series Jeffries has on display at the library started as a project for her senior year. The first painting, which was in color, met with a lukewarm reception from her peers. They suggested the black and gray format, which Jeffries said has allowed her to work on perfecting facial expressions, especially around the eyes.
“It’s speaking to people,” she said about her paintings.
Jeffries said she is considering the business aspect of being an artist and working on smaller, more affordable pieces.
Art purchases may be made by contacting individual artists. The works will be on display through September.
Fliers are available at participating businesses and the Nodaway News Leader with more information about the BIG Art artists and their work.
A call for artists will be underway in September for the next BIG Art exhibit scheduled for October. Businesses that would like to exhibit area artists’ work can contact Kathy Rice at krice@nodawaynews.com or 660.582.1742.
