McDaniel College Exhibit To Explore Relationships Between People and Color 8/31-9/24

The McDaniel College Department of Art and Art History presents a mixed media exhibit, Playing Tiddlywinks with Man Hole Covers, by Meghan Ambra Aug. 31 - Sept 24 on campus in the Esther Prangley Rice Gallery in Peterson Hall.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. An opening reception will be held 7-9 p.m. Aug. 31. For information and gallery hours, call 410-857-2595 or visit www.mcdaniel.edu/5531.htm.

Ambra, a 2007 graduate of McDaniel College who earned her MFA in Painting last year at the Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, says her work explores the relationships between people and color as well as how colors affect other colors.

"I feel that color is central to art not only as an element, but also as an idea," she says. "Using my environment, the process of travel/movement and the element of play as subject matter, I create ideas that respond to my experiences through the use of color."

Since receiving her MFA in 2009, Ambra has had various works accepted, exhibited and commissioned in Europe and in the United States. She is teaching art at the Kimball Jenkins School of Art in Concord, N.H.
