New Art Wall Exhibition at PMHS

Pope Memorial Humane Society is thrilled to announce the newest exhibition of artwork is now being displayed on the Art Wall in the lobby of the shelter. The current show, featuring pieces by Mary Jane Martin, is on display and available for purchase through March, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Pope Memorial Humane Society.

Mary Jane Martin is a 75-year-old resident of Rockland. She divides her time unequally between her dog, painting, writing poetry, and working at the Rockland Public Library. She likes life simple and colorful, much like her garden and the artwork she has hung at Pope Memorial Humane Society. As a self-taught artist and writer, she likes to keep her works simple and unambiguous. She has lots of artistic friends with whom she attributes her learning through osmosis.

She is showing an eclectic mix of artwork: acrylics, watercolor, pencil, photography, and poetry. She likes to show the silly side of life, hoping to make you smile with her mix of photography and poems. She’s hoping you will find the right piece that speaks to you to help contribute to the wonderful work of Pope Memorial.

Pope Memorial Humane Society is currently open Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm. We encourage our community to visit the shelter and see Mary Jane Martin’s artwork and all the adoptable animals. If you are interested in exhibiting your work on the PMHS Art Wall, please email art@popehumane.org.

The mission of Pope Memorial Humane Society is to ensure the compassionate care, treatment, and placement of companion animals in transition and to enrich the lives of pets and people in our community.
