PRESS RELEASE
October 12, 2007 - November 3, 2007
Opening Reception: Friday, October 12 from 5-8 pm in conjunction with the Downtown ArtWalk and “Art from the Heart”, Coeur d’Alene’s 5th Annual Fall Arts Festival.
The Art Spirit Gallery is proud to host its third solo show for Mary Farrell, Professor of Art at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington where she teaches drawing and print making. Mary will exhibit 33 new works for this show including monotypes, etchings and water colors.
Mary Farrell received her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Cincinnati in 1995. In her work, she blends many print techniques including woodcut, monotype, etching, drypoint, and mezzotint. Mary’s prints and drawings are, at heart, personal geographies that explore fragments from her world to better locate her in space. Topography, strata, terrain, location are words that inform her work. Mary has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally. Her most recent solo shows were at Loyola University in Chicago and Columbia Basin College in Pasco Washington. Recent group show include Print 2007 at the MeiLian Gallery in Wuhan China, New Work by Gallery Artists at Davidson Galleries in Seattle, MAC Collects: Art for the New Millenium at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture Spokane, Printmaking Invitational Show at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene Idaho. Internationally her work has been shown in China, India, Bulgaria, the UK, South Korea, New Zealand, Finland, Mexico, and the Ukraine. Mary’s work is collected in both private and public collections, including the Portland Art Museum, the City of Seattle Art Collection, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane, The China National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou China, and many corporate collections. In 2000 Mary won a fellowship grant from Artist Trust of Washington State.
This exhibition is sponsored by Radiology Associates of North Idaho. We thank them for their continued generous support of the arts and culture in our region.
