University City Arts League (UCAL) presents local printmaker, teacher and
graphic designer, Megan Fentzloff, in a solo exhibition of mixed media
etchings,
Under the Surface.
Under the Surface features etchings from two complimentary series of works.
The first series of images deals with the deconstruction of an industrial
environment and integrates layered clay prints under each etching. The
second series concentrates on the visual deconstruction of a natural
environment and uses the leaf as an integral element in the process and
finished image. These compositions are further developed with the addition
of watercolor and layering of thread. Both series reflect Fentzloff's
connection to her surroundings and use textural elements to enhance the
composition visually and conceptually.
Fentzloff earned her BS in design from Drexel University. Her teaching
credits include Drexel University, Delaware College of Art & Design and
Fleisher Art Memorial where she currently instructs adult etching classes
and youth art classes. Locally, her work has been shown at DaVinci Gallery,
Philadelphia Sketch Club and Works on Paper/Faculty exhibitions at Fleisher
Art Memorial.
