White will give her artist’s lecture on Tuesday, October 11 at 5:30 p.m. in room 356 of the UTC Fine Arts Center. The lecture will be followed by an opening reception that begins at 7:30 p.m.
In her 6 Years / 6 Works show, White fuses painting, sculpture, and architectural reference into large scale, multi-paneled, and sensitively composed explosions of color and mark. This exhibition features large works dating between 2006 and 2011 tracking White’s development and emergence as a prominent figure contributing to the revitalized course of painting and abstraction in the 21st Century.
White received a BFA (1993) from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, Georgia with a concentration in fibers and an MFA (2003) in painting from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, New Jersey. She currently serves on the faculty of Mason Gross School of the Arts.
White’s exhibition is supported by The Friends of the Cress Gallery.
