Virginia abstract painter and collage artist Joan H. Ranzini will exhibit “Source Materials: Collage and Paintings” from Sept. 27 through Nov. 3 in the Beverly Perdue Art Gallery on the main floor of the John Kenny Forrer Learning Commons on the College’s campus.

The gallery is open from 7:30 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and noon to midnight on Sunday. An opening reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 27, at the gallery, and Ranzini will give an artist’s talk that night at 5:30 p.m.

Ranzini’s exhibit of collage and paintings will offer a glimpse into her creative process. “Source Materials” refers to how Ranzini develops visual ideas by generating imagery through small collages, then transmits those ideas into large abstract paintings. The paintings, in turn, become new sources of inspiration.

Both the exhibit and opening reception/artist’s talk are free and open to the public. In keeping with guidance from the CDC, Bridgewater College requires that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, properly wear face masks when indoors in public areas of campus.
