The works will be on exhibit through the end of April 2015, and the public is invited to a reception for the artist and exhibit on Thursday, March 26 from 4-6 p.m. in the gallery. The event and parking in lot 104 are free.
Particularly enthusiastic about what she offers in this exhibit, Siegel notes, “…I feel I am perhaps at my zenith of capability and clarity of creative purpose…This exhibit represents an unprecedented opportunity for me to show imagery seldom or never seen outside my own studio, in addition to my familiar urban landscape paintings.” Through these and all of her works, her goal is to create well-crafted images that have a positive, transformative effect on the viewer.
Siegel was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and over her life has divided her time primarily between California and Kalamazoo. She earned a master’s degree in fine arts with a focus on painting from Western in 1988, adding this to her store of academic and personal studies in areas such as anthropology, sociology, comparative religion and English literature. After 11 years in California, she returned to Kalamazoo in 2003 and has been steadily creating and showing her art in the area since then.
The WMU campus community and the general public are invited to view Back to the Garden from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, contact Gay Walker at gay.walker@wmich.edu or (269) 387- 3839.
