The Southern Missouri Arts Connection (SMAC) will present the work of local artist Mary Evelyn Tucker in a solo exhibit, “Good Soil,” at the SMAC Art Center on historic Downing Street in Hollister. The exhibit run through July 27.
Tucker is well-known in the area for her heartwarming watercolor pet portraits and beautiful botanicals. For her upcoming exhibit she has incorporated a variety of mediums, including watercolors made from soil and plant-based materials. Her artwork includes a mixture of botanical and animal subjects, along with unique items such as tufted rugs. Alongside each piece will be the story of its creation.
“My intent is to emphasize the importance of community and growth,” Tucker said of the theme of her show. “Good Soil is a celebration of the interconnectedness of life and the sustaining power of nature.”
Each month during their exhibits, SMAC highlights one of the many local nonprofit organizations that serves the area. This month SMAC is drawing attention to the Branson Humane Society. The Humane Society aids in the alleviating of distress and suffering of animals, and promotes humane treatment through protection, placement and public education.
