Maria Jost: Patterns in Nature February 3-27, 2026
Maria Jost is a Tacoma-based artist and educator whose work is primarily influenced and inspired by the ecological and neurological sciences. Her artistic process involves the use of watercolor, ink, metal leaf and collage elements made from original illustrations. Topics of illustrative work and past projects include human uses and interactions with local flora and fauna, the cycling of energy and matter within an ecosystem, natural selection, the plight of marine organisms, and most currently, neurodiversity and brain health. Jost’s current project, Hidden Jewels, is a collaborative multimedia tool, an interactive offering designed to positively impact nervous system health in participants.
This exhibition will be open to the public February 3-27 during library open hours. There will be a Meet-the-Artist event Saturday, February 14th from noon to 2pm at the library.
