Joni Mabe is the self-proclaimed Elvis babe. Her artwork is featured at the Jule Collins Smith Museum, her life-like glitter mosaics filling the gallery.
"His voice is what drew me to Elvis," Mabe said. "I started using his image from that point on."
Joni Mabe makes kitsch art, which consists of mainstream culture and celebrity adulation.
Her work has won her awards from the Southern Arts Federation and Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art.
