Contact for more information:
Erika Myers-Bromwell Director of New Harmony Gallery of Comtemporary Art 812/682-3156 The title of Roth's exhibition alludes to the artist's extensive career as an artist and art educator while focusing on the artwork she has recently created and the contributions she will continue to make to the world of art. Since her retirement from the University of Southern Indiana, where she was an instructor in art, Roth has been able to travel the world and take inspiration from her recent travels to French Polynesia and China. The new works are based on memories and photographs of these recent travels with her husband, Dr. Charles T. Barber, professor emeritus of political science. Roth also has been experimenting with ink and watercolor drawings on rice paper as a collage element in her acrylic paintings inspired by her tours in Asia. This technique has allowed her to incorporate line into her paintings in a distinct way and has permitted her to take the use of line in a new direction. Roth taught at USI from 1984 to 2009. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Herron School of Art of Indiana University in Indianapolis, and her Master of Fine Arts degree from Florida State University in 1969. She has taught and shared her passion for the arts at seven universities in four states. Roth has won numerous awards for her art and has been in exhibitions across the United States and in Paris, France. Her work is represented in the collections of the University of Southern Indiana Foundation Southeastern Illinois College in Harrisburg, Illinois the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, IBM Corporation, Hunter Gallery of Art, and the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, Tennessee The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee Florida State University in Tallahassee Herron School of Art University of Evansville and Ruth Golden Holmberg Collection in New York City. The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is located at 506 Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
