CULTURE

EXPERIMENTAL STRATA: A SEARCH FOR MEANING
Ends Sunday, May 8

10 AM-5 PM (Tues.-Fri.) & 1-4 PM (Sat.-Sun.)
@ Dubuque Museum of Art
Wendy Romero (America, b. 1975), Professor of Art at Loras
College, works in a limited, mute palate to create textural
cross-sections of earth and sky. Her somber, quiet images
have evolved with the addition of metallic paints and pops of
accent colors – enlivening her typically somber surfaces with
an ethereal glow. Romero was born and raised in New Orleans,
Louisiana. She studied art at the Savannah College of Art and
Design and Georgia Southern University. She has been with the
Art Department at Loras since 2004. Regular museum admission rates apply. Visit DbqArt.com.
