MAHS Student’s Artwork on display

The Middletown Public Library is excited to display artwork from a Middletown High School student, Jessica Matincheck.

Jessica said in her artist’s statement, “I hope to honor healthcare workers with my version of the famous Rosie the Riveter painting. I choose to paint a prominent female figure because nurses are at high risk and they are literally on the frontline.”
