Joplin Arts Fest is excited to welcome back mixed media and fiber artist Brenda Hayes to our 2024 show at the Harry M. Cornell Arts & Entertainment Complex. Find her wide array of original art on the Leggett & Platt Green on September 20 & 21!
 
“Incorporating bright colors, exaggerated shapes and surreal imagery, my paintings encompass a whimsical and textured style. A love of nature is reflected in my creative process, focusing on the use of flowers, birds and animals. My work is intended to bring the viewer to a peaceful, happy place.
 
My journals reflect my desire to repurpose, reuse, and recycle as much as possible. What others may throw away or send to recycling, I turn into one of a kind, highly customized journals. They consist of original art, handmade elements, handmade papers, and eco printed papers. Each one is unique and reflect themes from nature and animals to Alice in Wonderland.”
