Olivia McNeely Pass Exhibition

A special opening reception will be held at the Backwoods Gallery this weekend for the gallery's newest exhibition featuring the work of Olivia McNelly Pass. At age seventy-five, Pass used the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic to put her artwork on the front burner, spending two to five mornings a week drawing and painting at the Charter Street Studio in Jackson, Louisiana. Her work, which ranges from oils to watercolors, frequently depicts scenes from West Feliciana, Sabine, and Avoyelles Parishes. This will be her first solo exhibition. All works will be available for purchase. 5 pm–7 pm. Free and open to the vaccinated public. For additional information, call Backwoods Gallery owner Joe Savell at (225) 721-1736.
