The Gallery at UTA is pleased to present Paper Trails, a three-person exhibition featuring artists Cecelia Feld (Dallas), Jessica Drenk (Rush, NY) and Rachel Livedalen (Fort Worth). The exhibition curated by Gallery Director Dr. August Jordan Davis and Visual Resources Curator Lilia Kudelia focuses on how each artist engages with the materiality of paper and books in their artworks, often to unexpected ends.
The Gallery at UTA is pleased to present a retrospective exhibition honoring the life and creativity of longtime faculty member, Pauline Hudel Smith, who died in 2024 after a battle with cancer. Organized by colleagues, friends, and family members, the exhibition displays over 100 sculptural and mixed media works along with graphic design and illustration posters created throughout her long career, ranging from 1980 to 2020. Many of her early works have rarely been seen and attest to her creative design and conceptual process, setting the stage for her later award-winning commercial graphic designs.
