Fletcher's pieces have been included in Marvel Studios' "Black Panther" and "Wakanda Forever."
She is self-taught and says she began making jewelry over 15 years ago.
"I saw someone making art, wire wrapped rings, and I thought, huh, I can do that. I've never thought about making jewelry in my life at this moment I thought I could do that to make some some income to generate income, and once I did it, something inside of me just lit up," Fletcher said.
The opening day celebration is this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit is on view through Aug. 9.
