Shook Gallery

Lori Brubaker’s work combines printmaking, photography, and sculpture to showcase the beauty in the unnoticed aspects of nature and the negative spaces they create. She uses her own photographs within her work; she regularly goes out looking for the next piece of inspiration that nature provides her. 

“Nature can be an intriguing, delicate, and complex being. It can be easy to take for granted all the alluring qualities and aspects that nature holds. My work aims to extract those elements that tend to go unnoticed. I find beauty within the positive and negative spaces that are formed with nature’s natural being. Color, abstraction, and earth’s natural appearances are used to present the natural elements in an alternate way to allow the viewer to form their own thoughts and experiences with the work and their connection to nature.”

Gallery Installation In Progress

East Gallery

Mary Pat Wallen’s work portrays their personal journey through life. It is messy. It consists of multiple layers of what the world might see as mistakes, but Wallen sees as beauty. It is seeing the beauty among the rust and corrosion of humanity. To not view the holes or rusty crevices as decay, but rather, opportunities to let your soul shine. Wallen likes to call it controlled chaos, a yin and a yang, or better yet, their WABI-SOBI moment.

Weil Gallery

This exhibit celebrates the rich artistic legacy of Indiana through works drawn from the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette's permanent collection in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of ArtSmart: Indiana. The educational initiative of ArtSmart:
Indiana has connected students, educators, and the community with Hoosier art for decades, inspiring generations to engage more deeply with art, history, and culture statewide.
Spanning a variety of media, styles, and time periods, the gallery showcases artists featured in ArtSmart: Indiana's program and offers visitors an opportunity to explore the depth and diversity of Indiana art. As we mark the 40th anniversary, this exhibition celebrates not only the artists themselves but also our state's enduring contributions to American art.
