Dr. Pearl Hansen, a retired Wayne State College professor of art, returns to campus with her exhibit “Diary of an Artist,” which opens Wednesday, Sept. 2, with a 4:30 p.m. reception in the Nordstrand Visual Arts Gallery, located on the main level of Conn Library at Wayne State.
An artist’s lecture precedes the opening at 3:45 p.m. in Connell Hall, Room 131. Both events are free and open to the public. The exhibit runs through Oct. 7.
It will be Hansen’s first exhibit at Wayne State since she retired in 2015 after 39 years of teaching at Wayne State. Hansen has also served as the division head of the Fine Arts Department and chair for the Department of Art and Design.
In 2014, Hansen received the National Art Education Award from the National Art Education Association. She received the Nebraska Art Educator of the Year Award in 2013 and 1990 and the Nebraska Higher Education Art Educator of the Year Award in 2013 and 1989 from the Nebraska Art Teachers Association.
