Monique Janssen-Belitz, "Unfolding Dreams", Jan. 7 - Feb. 7


The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Unfolding Dreams, by well-traveled artist, Monique Janssen-Belitz, who currently resides and teaches in Crete, Nebraska.

“My life is a collection of landscapes, colored by atmosphere and eloquent light. Immersed in the awareness of the transience of life and illusory promises of happiness, the land always offers more, something beyond eternity, beyond hope and beyond disappointments. In landscapes that are so huge you could lose yourself in them; becoming an inconsequential speck of dust as part of a larger-than-life orchestra celebrating the joy of nature. Variety inside repetition; multiples generate textures; textures morph into forms; forms create depth. This inter-connectedness mirrors the forces, which shaped the land over time. Its geological genesis etched the surface as did the ebb and flow of cultural sediment and weathered erosion.”

The show runs from January 7th to February 7th. A lecture will take place on Thursday, January 17th, beginning at 3:00 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. Eugene, OR. There is no charge for admission. The Art and Applied Design Department phone number is 541-463-5409.
