An opening reception for “Strata: Works on Paper,” an exhibition of a new series of collage works by UB alumna Jane Sangerman, will be held from 5-7 p.m. June 16 in the UB Anderson Gallery, One Martha Jackson Place, near Englewood and Kenmore avenues.

The reception, as well as the exhibition, is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view through July 29.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Sangerman will conduct a workshop for art teachers from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 27 during which she will help participants develop strategies for strengthening and customizing the portfolios of high school art students.

Participants will create an artwork that is designed to support their teaching methods for guiding students in portfolio preparation and the submission process.

Sangerman also will lead a tour and discussion about her work at the UB Anderson Gallery.

Advanced registration for the seminar is required. Contact Ginny O’Brien at ginny@andersongallery.org for more information.

Sangerman’s artistic process is a type of excavation that involves layering, scraping and sanding wax, acrylic mediums, oil paint, pastels, paper and rusted metal on a variety of supports. Objects found on the streets of New York City are granted new life and enrich the tapestry of the plane as they become one, bound with her cool color palette of aquas, greens and turquoises.

Sangerman lives and works in New York City. She offers private art lessons for children, teens and adults, specializing in art portfolio preparation. She received a BFA from the University of New Mexico and an MFA with a concentration in printmaking from UB.

She has exhibited her works throughout the United States, including solo exhibitions at Althea Viafora Gallery in New York and group exhibitions at Jan Cicero Gallery in Chicago, and at Long Island Museum in Stony Brook.
