An exhibition by Helen Mayer Jones and Azadeh Hussaini will be on display until March 28 in the Brent and Jean Wadsworth Family Gallery, located on Lewis University’s main campus in Romeoville. The free exhibit is open to the public and will be on display from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Helen Mayer Jones is a mixed media artist who uses metaphors that link her experiences with conflict and war by juxtaposing animal and human images. Jones earned a Masters of Fine Arts degree from the University of Chicago.
Azadeh Hussaini was inspired by her emotional experiences as an immigrant visual artist, constructing mixed media, painting, and assemblages that explore the human desires and conditions in general. Hussaini completed her Masters of Fine Arts at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
The Art Gallery is part of the Oremus Fine Arts Center at Lewis University. The Department of Art and Design manages the gallery, which include Lewis University student shows, local and regional artist shows, annual high school exhibits, faculty shows, academic based exhibitions and cultural and religious based art shows.
