Jessica Pennington brings her amazing energy to the Passion Works Studio with vivid color, in paintings and products that tell a story. Jessica expresses her enthusiasm and creativity through many mediums. She is currently working with acrylics and watercolor paints, on stretched canvas, fine art handbags and paper mache’ sculpture. Her fresh, honest images transcend expectation to deliver a feeling similar to the dream-like themes of Marc Chagall. Congratulations to Jessica!

Stop in from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. and see the unveiling of an amazing installation. The newly created works are the result of an Ohio Arts Council funded residency led by Passion Works’ founder, Patty Mitchell and a creative collaboration between Passion Works Artists and The Aesthetic Technologies Lab at Ohio University. Come celebrate the marriage of Passion Works artwork with the cutting edge technical capabilities of Ohio University’s Aesthetic Technologies Lab (@Lab). You won’t want to miss it!

Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful, But Our Jewelry is Delightful!
Why not brighten those January days with fanciful earrings from our Passion Works' store? Birds, Grumpy Fish, Circles, Sunshines and Cats, all come from original artwork by our fabulous Passion Works Artists. Each detailed, whimsical design is cast in long-wearing pewter. Earrings are mounted on high quality sterling silver ear wires and pendent charms adorn lovely 18” sterling snake chains. Wear them-as a set or mix them up for a playful look. Passion Works jewelry will make you smile and generate countless comments from friends!
Our Passion Works Guy is the only piece offered in silver (rather than pewter) and symbolizes the importance of collaborative art making between artists with and without disabilities. This icon reminds us that art enhances quality of life and strengthens community.
