She also exhibited a new body of work, landscape paintings in India ink and tempera on paper, in a solo exhbition, Geochromes II, at the Artspace Gallery in Bay City, Oregon. And if that weren’t enough, she and Stephanie Snyder ’91 collaborated on an installation of Soviet graphic arts and photography at the Cooley Gallery.

Students contributed  research papers and explanatory texts for the photographic images on display.
