Reading , Pa.- The Freedman Gallery at Albright College will open a new exhibition by Trace Miller, Nature: Invitation for Renewal on March 7, 2008, from 6-8 p.m. The artist will share his thoughts about his work at 7 p.m. The exhibit will run from March 7 - March 21, 2008. This event is free and open to the public.

Trace Miller’s expressionistic landscapes are metaphors for life, renewal, loss and reconciliation. He says that his work is, “Contemplative in nature, with a feeling of quiet isolation, my work allows the viewer to delve into each individual mark, wind their way through the entirety of the surface, and discover content on a personal level.” Utilization of twentieth century art explorations help reconcile the personal narrative with social science, and creates thought-provoking, soul-searching, works of art. Miller lives and works in Baltimore, Md. where he is an artist and instructor of painting and drawing.

The Freedman Gallery is located in the Center for the Arts on the campus of Albright College at 13 th and Bern Streets in Reading. For more information or disabled assistance, please call 610-921-7715.
