Artist Joyce Wellman – whose prints, paintings, and drawing will be on exhibit in UALR’s Gallery I from Jan. 16 through March 7 – will discuss her work at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13, in Room 157 in UALR’s Fine Arts Building. Wellman’s exhibit is sponsored by the McLarty Companies.

A native of Brooklyn, Wellman began her artistic journey from the craft of printmaker to the broader canvas and full palette of the abstract painter. Since the late 1970s, Wellman’s prints, drawings and paintings have been regularly exhibited and have received critical review in art publications nationally and internationally.

In 2003, Wellman was invited to Kenya to participate in the First East African Women Artists Residency and Exhibition and to teach a master printmaking class to a group of young artists at the Kuona Trust Studios in Nairobi sponsored by the U.S. Embassy, Kenya, and the Kuona Trust of Nairobi.

A reception for the artist from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 15, is sponsored by UALR’s Office of Campus Life Minority Advocacy Program.
