The nearly seventy paintings, pen drawings and color photographs which make up artist Betty LaDuke’s exhibition Dreaming Cows reflect her deeply felt experiences as she visited Heifer International's "Not a Cup But a Cow" project sites in Cambodia, Ecuador, Peru, Poland, Rwanda, Uganda and Vietnam.
Ms. LaDuke, Professor of Art Emeritus, Southern Oregon University, is a highly accomplished painter, printmaker, teacher, and activist. Her work is inspired by her interest in women’s lives as expressed in their art and by the direct relationship many peoples have to the earth’s bounty. Identity, community, spirituality and locality are recurrent themes. Ms. LaDuke will discuss the works in the exhibition at the Opening Reception for Dreaming Cows on Friday, March 23, 2007, Joseph W. Jones Room, Robert W. Woodruff Library, Emory University, 4:30pm – 7:30pm. This event is free and open to the public. For further information, please see contact information listed below. You are invited! |
