“In this exhibit, we explore the creative power, technical abilities, and diverse forms of expression that our visual arts and art history faculty use in their own practices,” remarked Hilary Irons, gallery and exhibitions director at UNE. “Composed of printmaking, painting, new media, sculpture, photography, writing, and more, the faculty’s creative work is multifaceted and compelling. We hope that you find in it an echo of UNE’s dedication to innovation and love for the natural world.”
