Audrey Ushenko: Retrospective

Join the Department of Art and Design for an exceptional retrospective featuring the work of Professor Audrey Ushenko, spanning more than 30 years of her career as an educator and professional artist.  Since her arrival at (I)PFW in 1988, Ushenko’s work in still life oil paintings and interactive figurative art has captured the imagination of the country. Not only have friends, students, and the common passer-by been the subjects of her work, she has worked to put humanity on each canvas and pull viewers in through a range of emotion they can see in the paint and sense in themselves. Her work has been exhibited across the nation in museums and special events, and featured in multiple publications. She has served as artist-in-residence, executing painting projects that have drawn adoring crowds around her easel, while painting them in some of the most unusual settings. Her projects have been executed at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, St. Louis University Museum of Art, Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University, University of Chicago Hospitals, and Indiana State Museum. She has most recently assisted in the research and creation of Associate Professor Andres Montenegro’s creative installation “Pictorial and Virtual Simulation of Andrea Mantegna’s Fresco The Wedding Chamber.”

Reception – Thursday, August 31               4:30 – 6:30 p.m.
 

Gallery hours are 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. weekends.
