Impression

Impression, by Marissa Raglin, explores a mother’s complex role and celebrates women. Raglin creates ethereal, whimsical collages compiled from images "rescued from thrift stores, half-priced book stores, and estate sales". Vividly pigmented artwork contrasts with blank spaces, creating room for conversation. Her pieces evoke feelings of maternal love, as well as questions about the duality of motherhood as both personal and communal.

Permanent exhibits

Permanent exhibits within the Gaylord-Pickens Museum are open year-round. Most are updated seasonally to provide visitors with new experiences on a regular basis.
