Exhibit & Gallery Reception: Women In the Arts – A Dialogue between Nature & Environment

Gallery Reception, Chaney and Martino Galleries at Maryland Hall(Free and Open to the Public): Thursday, April 28, 6-8 pm

Just as culture occupies a special place in life, so too women have always played an important role in this vast and beautiful area of human activity. Looking at the works of Yumi Hogan and Mina Papatheodorou-Valyraki, we can understand and delight in the different ways in which these two women have embodied and defined nature through art. Whether their inspiration is found in the European still life tradition or in Asian landscape painting, both artists display an appreciation for nature as it intersects with the imagination.
