VANCOUVER, Wash. — The work of layerist Leslie Ebert will be on display in the Washington State University Vancouver Engineering Life Sciences Building March 2 through April 15.
Ebert is a mixed-media artist whose recent explorations of encaustic techniques — techniques of painting with pigments mixed in wax — with acrylic mediums and paper collage have resulted in the pieces shown in this exhibit. The series focuses on how communication is perceived through the filters of personal life experience.
Ebert, who has worked with paper for more than 12 years, pushes the boundaries of what paper can be, using transparent layering acrylics and wax on panel. Her work has been shown nationally and is held in private collections. She is a member of the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists, the Friends of Dard Hunter (an organization of hand papermakers) and the Society of Layerists in Multi-media, which will hold a group show at WSU Vancouver in 2006.
An informal, public brown bag lunch discussion is scheduled for March 30 in the Engineering Life Sciences Building, Room 140. Ebert will discuss the exhibit and the “creative process.” For more information about Ebert, visit her Web site at www.leslieebert.com.
Entry to the exhibit is free. WSU Vancouver galleries are open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. WSU Vancouver is located at
