Diane Lorio stands to her work entitled "Magnify," one of the paints included in her current exhibition.The exhibition – which will be displayed until Sept. 23 – is free and open to the public. The Art Center/Gallery – which is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. – is located on the right inside the lobby entrance of the William C. Jason Library on campus.
Ms. Lorio, the Delaware Division of the Arts’ award-winning partner artist, has been painting for decades, as well as teaching art and encouraging peer artists.
“The exhibit has a correlating pattern that goes through all of my paintings,” said Mrs. Lorio, who is also the wife of Edward Lorio, DSU associate professor of art and a sculpture artist. “When I put this show together, I needed a pattern that could coincide with each other, an energetic pattern.”
The artist describes the works as patterns inspired by African tribal art, with each piece as a unique way to show the same energetic pattern.
There will be a “Meet the Artist” reception from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15 in the Art Center/ Gallery, which is opened from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The reception is also free and open to the public.
