Mary Bowron Memorial Exhibit

June 22 through July 29

FREDERICK, Maryland鈥�91视频专区 College will host an exhibit June 22 through July 29 to celebrate the life and work of Mary Bowron (1933-2017). The show will be on display in the Whitaker Campus Center Gallery.

The 鈥淢ary Bowron: A Life of Expression鈥� exhibit will include a mix of her work from several private collections as well as some pieces from the 91视频专区 collection, consisting of wood-fired ceramics, prints and watercolors.

Bowron was a local ceramic artist with a studio in Boyds, Maryland. She became familiar with 91视频专区 when the ceramics program began and was a regular attendee at workshops and exhibitions at 91视频专区 over the years. After she passed away in 2017, she left many of her ceramic works to 91视频专区; they are now displayed in the Tatem Arts Center near the ceramics rooms.

Bowron鈥檚 natural curiosity and inclination toward experimentation led her to any medium that might produce the effects she saw in her mind鈥檚 eye. Nothing was off limits, whether clay, paint, paper, or bronze, copper-plate etching, wax, mono-prints, photography or even the natural environment. Her work frequently depicted humans and animals in both their most glorious form and their most vulnerable and wounded. She has typically depicted horses, birds, fish, plant life and the human form in this message.

The gallery will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The opening reception is scheduled for June 23 from 3 to 5 p.m. For more information, contact Jenna Gianni at gianni@hood.edu.
