Zoe Lyons Retirement Piece

The Ella Sharp Museum is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with local artist Doug Jones to create a community artwork piece in honor of Zoe Lyons, who is retiring after a distinguished career with Jackson County office of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). Zoe has been a remarkable change agent, always putting the needs of the community first. To commemorate her dedication and positive impact, we invite you to join us in supporting this special project.

The project, tentatively titled DHHS PIXEL Project #3, will feature a large-scale collaborative artwork designed by Doug Jones using his signature PIXEL Technique. This unique method invites community participation, where visitors and staff of the Jackson County MDHHS office will paint individual Dot Sheets. These contributions will be carefully preserved and assembled by Doug Jones to form the final piece, which will be displayed in the DHHS lobby.

We are currently seeking donations in Zoe Lyons’ honor to fund this collaborative artwork. Your support will not only celebrate Zoe’s incredible legacy but also create a lasting work of art that symbolizes community engagement and unity.

Donation Information:

  • Donations will directly fund the materials, assembly, and installation of the artwork.
  • Any donation, big or small, will contribute to making this project a reality.
  • Donations can be made online using the form below, or in person at the Ella Sharp Museum.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us honor Zoe Lyons and her profound contributions to our community.
