- Fiber art by Annie Greene.
Greene is an artist and retired educator currently living in LaGrange, Georgia. She is best known for her images crafted in yarn, a unique medium she began to explore in the 1970s. Greene's yarn paintings frequently reflect culturally and socially relevant imagery culled from her life as an African American woman living in the rural South. This work depicts the historic Douglass Theatre in Macon, Georgia. During segregation, the Douglass Theatre was the most important entertainment venue available for African American performers and audiences in Macon.
