This event, which also coincides with the 40th anniversary of Slyvia Plath's most famous collection of poetry, Ariel, commemorates another side of Plath's creative abilities. The exhibit of her work includes a mix of pieces from childhood greeting card art to a more mature self-portrait in pastels.
