An Exhibition by Karin Calabrese

Opening Reception: Monday, September 14 5-7pm

Karin Calabrese"s Senior BFA Capstone Exhibition is open on September 14,2015 with a free reception starting at 5pm-7pm at the Northcutt Steele Gallery on the MSUB campus located on the first level of the LA building. 

Karin Calabrese is pursuing a BFA degree after receiving an AAS in Ceramics from Rochester Institute of Technology. Karin's focus of study is working in watercolor, acrylics, and oil with incorporating printmaking to add to the narratives in her paintings.

Much of her works are taken from personal experiences. The series of work called Death in Life speaks to the journey of caring for her mother in the process of the dying. Karin catches glimpes of that experience that were profound reflections of a difficult time, exposing the pain yet beauty in the life cycle. We all face death and many fear it, Karin wants her audience to see the hope she found in painting the last four day of her mother's life. It has become moving series of healing by documenting this time and has become a memorial to her mother's memory.   


Gallery hours 8am-4pm M-F or by appointment.
