Works by artist Amy Richardson, who uses the traced-monotype process to create, dislocate, mutate, splice, and recombine images from the natural world to form entirely new environments that exist beyond the boundaries of nature, will be on display in the University of Baltimore's Student Center Gallery, now through May 10. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Monday, March 9, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Bogomolny Room adjacent to the gallery. The gallery is located on the top floor of the Student Center, 21 W. Mt. Royal Ave. The reception is free and open to the public.
Richardson depicts transformation by using space and variation of forms on the picture plane in such a way that the viewer can perceive multiple environments within a piece and from several vantage points. She has exhibited her work throughout the United States and in publications, such as New American Paintings and Studio Visit. Born in Pennsylvania, Richardson attended Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, where she received her B.F.A., and Illinois State University, where she earned her M.F.A. Richardson has taught as an adjunct instructor at several community colleges in Illinois and Florida. She currently resides in Silver Spring, Md.
