🎉 We are pleased to welcome back Michele Karch-Ackerman to the Agnes Jamieson Gallery, with her exhibit Museum of Her.

‼ The exhibit will be on display in the Kirkwood Room of the Agnes Jamieson Gallery from May 28 to July 18. An artist talk will take place on Saturday, June 6 at 1:00 PM.

✒️ The Artist has an odd connection to the writer Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. Michèle’s great, great, great, great grandmother Augusta Draper was a life-long friend to Edward Trelawney, who was a good friend of Percy and Mary Shelley, and their friend Lord Byron. It was Edward who arranged the funeral of Percy Shelley on a beach in Italy after his tragic drowning death.

🥰 The Artist reached out to Mary Shelley during the wistful period of grief following the deaths of both her parents, and began an ethereal correspondence with the famous writer. Museum of Her houses all the Artist's explorations during this sensitive time: her letters to and from Mary Shelley, the desk she wrote them on and myriad tiny ancestral inspired artworks honouring her maternal and paternal ancestors.
