For artist Jennifer Neff, the hands are more important than the eyes, even though the Bible (and some other sources) say the "eyes are the window to the soul."

She explained: "Really, what we leave this world when we go is what we did with our hands - whether it was helping somebody, or giving a hug or wiping away a tear."

Neff's showing a dozen of her works, along with 11 other Mid-Missouri artists, in the exhibition "Celebrate," scheduled through July 26 in Jefferson City at Capital Arts, 1203 Missouri Blvd. (in the old Parks and Recreation building).
