Her 2,000- square-foot mosaic “Look Up, Not Down” commissioned by MTA Arts for Transit for the Queens Plaza subway station was installed in 2005.
The painting department is also playing host to artist and Tyler instructor Frank Bramblett . The photo above is of paintings from his exhibit at the Levy Gallery in Philadelphia, and more information can be found on his website.
Sculptors will have a chance to meet with Michael Grothusen, whose 2001 steel and wood sculpture, The Two of Us appears above.
