The Erdman Art Gallery is pleased to present the Princeton University Art Museum Docent Artists Exhibit. Among the rosters of docents at the Princeton University Art Museum is a special group who are themselves working artists—painters, sculptors, and photographers. All the docents are steeped in art history, but these artists can leaven discussions and study groups with interpretations seen through an artist’s eye.

Artists exhibiting works of art include, Laura Berlik, Cynthia Campbell, Sally Davidson, Claudia Fountaine, Dee Gozonsky, Joel Greenberg, Millie Harford, Bill Hogan, Tara Kudra, Owen Leach, Wendel Lim, Lore Lindenfeld, Charles McVicker, Lucy McVicker, Vi Schonewald, and Rebecca Vares-Ebert.

Beginning October 27, and continuing through December 5, 2008, the Erdman Art Gallery is pleased to present the oil paintings of Cranbury, New Jersey, artist Corinne Collymore Peters.

“Acts of Love” is a series of oil paintings manifesting God’s loving gifts, inviting us to more deeply explore familiar objects and traditional spiritual images from a woman’s point of view. The large canvases, presenting human proportions, are meant to inspire understanding, empathy, and awe.

Award-winning artist Corinne Collymore Peters was educated at St. John’s University in New York and in Florence, Italy, at the Villa Schifanoia, Graduate School of Fine Arts. For more than twenty-five years, she has developed a voice that speaks to and engages the observer. Her work has been exhibited in several one-woman and group shows in Florence and Paris, as well as locally in New York and New Jersey.

Corinne Collymore Peters’ painting “The Chosen” was recently awarded Best in Show in painting at the 26th Ellarslie Open in Trenton, New Jersey.
