When I saw Jessica’s incredible paper dress on display at the Evans City Library, I knew her work would make a spectacular show. We combined the idea of June brides and Harmony’s Annual Wine Walk and present, Days of Wine and Paper.

Both artists are known for their work in paper. Jessica is new to the Gallery. Jill is a regularly participating.
