野狼社区 University鈥檚 Norick Art Center will host a presentation by artist Shelley Thorstensen titled 鈥淚nnovative Printmaking鈥� at 6 p.m. Oct. 22. The presentation is open to the public as a virtual event via Zoom.
Thorstensen was born in Oklahoma and now lives in Oxford, Pennsylvania. She is the director of Printmakers Open Forum LLC, a 2,000 square-foot all-inclusive print facility. She has an undergraduate degree in experimental studies from Syracuse University and a graduate degree in printmaking from Temple University鈥檚 Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.
She was most recently a National Endowment for the Arts research artist at Kansas State University in Electrolytic Chemical Etching and a visiting artist at Rhode Island College in Rhode Island.
鈥淏ecause I work in the medium of the hand-pulled print, color and form can be separate investigations into meaning, effect, response,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 think about the connection between the manmade and what we call natural, the extension and overlap of each modality.鈥�

The art center is located at 1608 NW 26th St. on the OCU campus. Regular gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information about the artist or to view images of her work, visit .
