OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Liberty Collins Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I’m an East TN native who grew up playing outside crushing poke berries, painting on tin with rocks, and digging in the red clay of my backyard.
Now I’m a potter!
I started my body vessel project in September of 2020 after a diagnosis of a chronic illness.
Since then, it’s blossomed into a wonderful exploration of loving my body, its limits, and overcoming shame around my illness and imperfections.
It’s also been hugely influential in beginning more conversations with women around me as they find their own struggles represented and the strength to discuss them.
I am humbled by the journey of these body vessels and the connections I’ve made by sharing them.

More Exhibits
The Kendra Barth Exhibit
This Illustration, titled "Fierce" is my representation of the tenacity of the female spirit. In nature spotted Hyenas organize under a matriarch and work together, using teamwork and intelligence to hunt and outwit rivals. They are strong, female opportunists and damn scary.
The Shay Coope Exhibit
I'm Shay Coope, shop owner of P.S. With Lovee. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, mother to a beautiful little girl, wife to an amazing husband, and lover of all things colorful! To me, being a woman means being a complete badass! We are strong, nurturing, amazing multitaskers, and true advocates of what we believe in.
The Victoria Walsh Exhibit
My work is texture inspired. Shadows, light play and layers add to the depth of my fiber art and practice. This piece was made during a recent residency at The Art and History Museums in Maitland FL, right before leaving my hometown and moving to Knoxville TN.
