Upper Iowa University senior art exhibit focuses on color and light

Fayette, Iowa (April 6, 2006) — The Upper Iowa University art department is pleased to announce the senior exhibit of Melissa Davidson of Wabasha, Minn., at its Edgar Fine Arts Gallery from April 20 through May 6.

Davidson will exhibit still life paintings in oil that focus on the use of color and light. According to John Siblik, UIU assistant professor of art, “Melissa has an amazing sense of color. The level of understanding with regard to light and the confidence with which she approaches color are rarely present in so young an artist.”

Edgar Fine Arts Gallery is located in room 200 in the Edgar Fine Arts Hall, near the corner of Clark and Union on the Fayette campus. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment. For more information, please call (563) 425-5241 or e-mail siblikj@uiu.edu.

The public is invited to attend free of charge.
