Exhibition of Angela Manno's paintings, “Saving Biodiversity: Icons of Threatened and Endangered Species by Angela Manno” Oct 16-25, with 10/16 gallery opening at 5pm and lecture, "“The Art of Evolution: Contemporary Icons of Threatened and Endangered Species.”  at 6pm in 301 Williams Hall

Applying the traditional processes of icon painting to contemporary environmental concerns, Endangered Species aims to elevate non-human species to their rightful and equal place in the community of being.These contemporary icons represent the confluence of Manno's search for a form of expression that merges her art, scientific understanding, and mystical sensibilities with the current zeitgeist, which is turning more and more towards ecology, given the concern over the biosphere and climate disruption.

A three-time grant recipient from the Xerox Corporation, Manno’s art has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions including the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C, the Smithsonian Institution, the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and other museums around the world. Her works reside in many private collections throughout the Americas, the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia and in distinguished public collections including NASA and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air & Space Museum.
