Show to Celebrate Women's Art

"Union Women – 3 Decades of Art" displays work by painters, printmakers, and photographers for whom art is both vocation and avocation. The exhibition opens on Monday, Nov. 6, and kicks off with an opening reception on Thursday, Nov. 9, from 5 to 7 p.m. followed by a panel discussion at 7:30 p.m. in Union College's Nott Memorial.

The exhibition, free and open to the public, runs through Jan. 14.

The exhibition honors those particular Union women who have established their interest and expertise as artists – from Claudia Gioseffi who graduated in 1976 to become a painter of bold colorful landscapes, to Veronica Sack, a member of Union's most recent graduating class, and a printmaker who works on cloth as well as paper.

The exhibitors include not only professional artists, but those such as Meredith R. Miller '97, a lawyer for whom printmaking and photography are avocations, and Sally Eckhoff '77, whose creative life bridges both the professions of painter and writer. Tina Tryforos '86 is a photographer who works with plastic cameras to explore the "unintentional consequences of making art with a toy." Linda E. Fisher '87 paints richly textured landscapes that explore "how land reveals time." Elizabeth Tremante '89 took only a few art classes at Union but is now a painter inspired by the "sense of alienation from reality" she finds around her in Los Angeles.
