WILD KINGDOM

Opening Reception: March 14, 5pm – 8pm
Exhibit conclusion: April 18,2026

We are so thrilled to welcome artist Ellen Paquette to the Peg Bothner Gallery next month! Ellen is a fine art painter, harpist, and nature lover based on the edge of the sublime Allegheny National Forest in northwestern Pennsylvania. Her artwork focuses primarily on Renaissance style portraiture of vulnerable and endangered species. She also enjoy depicting mythical and folkloric subject matter in my work. She is inspired by wildlife, the natural world, Renaissance and medieval art, historic costume and decorative arts, and all things fantastical.

This May 2nd we are excited to be hosting an event to support Olivia’s Bears, which is a charity to help support kids who have been diagnosed with cancer. During our event we will be creating small Pocket Stitched Hearts that will later be given to local people in need of a little extra support and a physical reminder that they are loved with something beautiful a stranger took the time to create for them! No experience with sewing, no problem, there will be instruction and guidance given to everyone who attends. This is a drop in event. Come by between 1pm and 5pm and be able to create a Pocket Stitched Heart for someone who needs it. Donations for Olivia’s Bears are encouraged and will be accepted!
