The public is invited to attend a reception for Lisa Lofgren’s print exhibit “what is was,” which will be held tomorrow, March 5, 5:30-7:30 p.m. The exhibit is on display in the James S. Murray Gallery through March 7.

Lofgren’s work is informed by her role as a mother of a two-year-old and how it has affected her studio practice. She describes it as once deeply contemplative, but now fractured by the unstructured play required in raising a young child.

Lofgren is a printmaker, educator and founder of the community printmaking and papermaking facility Together Press in coordination with cometogetherstudios in Bloomington. She is the registrar and office coordinator for University Galleries of Illinois State University and an adjunct instructor at Heartland Community College. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wyoming and a master’s degree from Illinois State University.
