FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Brandy Ramos Nikaido, (559) 241-7512 FALL COMMUNITY ARTREACH EXHIBIT FEATURES DYNAMIC PAINTINGS BY DONNALEE
DUNNE The latest exhibit features a collection of more than 40, two- and three-dimensional mixed-media paintings, by Donnalee Dunne. The body of work titled Quintessence 2: Connection and Communication represents Dunne’s vision of language and communication between earth and the universe through energy, gravity and magnetism. The work ranges from pieces of ethereal beauty in vibrant colors on flowing silk to dark, organic shapes and forms created from salvaged materials. Some pieces in the collection have a connection to modern technology while others are free form and dream-like. The end result is visually dynamic and poetic. Other art on display includes paintings by Vincente Aiello, Gail Evans, Linda Koch and Barbara Van Arnam; photographic media by Jonathan Bock; mixed-media, collage and ink paintings by Don Parkey; and raku and pit-fired clay pieces by Geoffrey Spach. The Art Through Their Eyes Gallery of students’ work contains a collection of finely detailed color pencil artwork created by Sunnyside High School student Bee Vue. Community ArtReach is presented as part of the University of California’s commitment to public service in the San Joaquin Valley. The program is a collaborative effort by UC Office of the President and UC Merced staff members, community volunteers and participating artists. The program’s aim is to support and encourage the creativity of Valley artists and present fine works of art to the community. The exhibit will run through Nov. 4 and is open to the public free of charge during the UC Center’s business hours. The UC Center is located at 550 East Shaw Ave. (across from Fashion Fair Mall) in Fresno. For more information, please call Jeanie Smith at (559) 241-7510.
