Pixels and Pages is multimedia storytelling exhibition that examines both the magic and the macabre found in the forests of Appalachia. Through a blend of photography, poetry, memoir, and digital design, Mattie Green explores the fragility and determination of life nestled in the mountains. The exhibition will be opened with a reception in the E. Taylor Greer Art Gallery, in Stanley Library at Ferrum College, on April 16, 2026, 4:30-6:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend for free.
In her art, Green is drawn to the way nature coexists with the often unnoticed and abandoned traces of humanity. She enjoys searching for the unseen and highlighting that in her work. Rain, rust, insects, and forests are commonly showcased, and an undercurrent of transformation and renewal frequently makes an appearance.
Mattie Green is an Appalachian artist and multi-disciplinary creative currently living in Rocky Mount, Virginia. As a self-proclaimed “Jill of All Skills,” she thrives on learning new tools and approaches to solve complex problems from every angle. You can find samples of her work @GreenfinchMedia on Facebook and Instagram.
Mattie will graduate on May 2 with her B.S. in Marketing and her B.A. in Graphic Design at Ferrum College. On campus, she serves as editor-in-chief for Chrysalis Literary and Arts Magazine, and president of the Art & Media Club.
