Margaret Agner

Local artist Margaret Agner, whose delicate works range among silk paintings, monoprints and pastels, draws inspiration from local botanicals, animals and scenery. She specializes in silk painting—a medium she’s perfected over the past three decades—and is well-known for creating decorative wall hangings that gently ripple in air currents as well as lightweight scarves and other wearable articles of clothing. The library will host a Meet the Artist opening reception, during which Agner will give a talk on her unique process and body of work. The exhibition, which features dozens of pieces, will remain on view through the month of August.
