VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

 Visiting artist Wendy Wagner will transform Lone Star College-CyFair’s Bosque Gallery with paintings, sculpture and animation in her exhibition titled Lookie on display Feb. 22 through March 10.

Wendy is a Texas native. After studying graphics in college, she soon went back to her first love of painting. This artist draws on a rich store of invented whimsical iconography as she investigates personal narratives from her past and present.

“As with all of my work, there is a lighthearted curiosity and silliness,” said Wagner, 2008 winner of the prestigious Hunting Art Prize. “I am rewarded, however, and amazed by how my subconscious mind continually communicates through the process of creating art.”

Wagner’s works have been exhibited at solo shows in Houston at the New Gallery, and she has been part of group exhibitions in Houston, Austin, New York, and Monterrey, Mexico. She also taught in the Multi Visit Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Learn more about this talented artist in person at the LSC-CyFair Bosque Gallery opening reception set for 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24 in the lobby of the Center for the Arts on the Barker Cypress campus at 9191 Barker Cypress.
