The World Through Abby’s Eyes at the University of Puget Sound

The Collins Memorial Library is pleased to announce a new collaborative exhibit to be on display from January 8th – April 30th. The World Through Abby’s Eyes, is about the nuanced life of women in the American West in the early twentieth century. The focal point of the exhibit will be Tacoma resident Abby Williams Hill (1861-1943), and specifically four significant roles she held: artist, advocate, mother, and woman. The exhibit will feature original works by local artists, all of which will explore the life and experiences of Hill. Building on these themes, we will also draw on the rich and vibrant history of Tacoma through documents, photographs and artifacts from the Archives & Special Collections and other community historical organizations. I’ll have a piece in this collective exhibition!
