Works by artist Sarah Petruziello will be on display in the McGraw Gallery from September 3-28. An opening reception will be held in the gallery on Thursday, September 12 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The exhibit, entitled, “Lead and Leaf” is a collection of drawings produced primarily in graphite. Some of the drawings are embellished in gold leaf around the edges as a means of transcending the simply illustrative nature of the works with a tangible, touchable surface.
Petruziello now lives in South Orange but grew up in Athens, Georgia. Some of her pieces have an intentionally mystical quality and harken back to her childhood in the South and her love of Southern Gothic narrative.
