Sally Van Orden will present an exhibition titled Fossilized Memories in the Delaware Division of the Arts Mezzanine Gallery from September 7-28, 2012. The Gallery, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is located in the Carvel State Office Building, 820 N. French Street, Wilmington. There will be a reception to meet the artist on Friday, September 7 from 5-8 p.m. as part of Wilmington’s Art Loop.

This solo exhibition of Van Orden’s work will showcase imagery that suggests fossil laboratory slides, samples and cross-sections depicted in a silk painting medium. The artist uses past imagery of organic structures and reconstructs them in two -dimensional and three- dimensional works.

Sally Van Orden has exhibited her work regionally, nationally, and internationally and is included in public and private collections. She is the recipient of a 2012 Delaware Individual Artist Fellowship in Crafts.
