Artist Donates Painting To Boise State Women's Center

Artist Julie Clemmons has donated a piece of her work to the growing collection housed in the Boise State Women�s Center. The oil painting, �Untitled, October 2004,� was part of a series that was chosen for the Women�s History Month national juried exhibit in March.

The painting, done in oil sticks on watercolor paper, is a playful interpretation of the desert landscapes of southern and central Idaho, inspired particularly by the rolling hills and brush.

Clemmons, a landscape artist, earned a BFA from Boise State in 1990. Her work has been shown at the Art Source Gallery and The Gallery at Hyde Park in Boise.

Clemmons� painting joins other original art donated to the Women�s Center, including sculptures �Lilith� by Zella Bardsley and �No Fear of Feminism� by Melody Eisler; a painting, �The Vagina Monologues� by Rose Elkovich; and an untitled pencil drawing by David Habben.

The art can be viewed from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Women�s Center, 1605 University Drive, across from the Student Union. For more information, call 426-4259.
