“Lying in Wait” by Janet Ballweg

Prints by Janet Ballweg will be on display Nov. 16 – Dec. 18 at The University of Findlay’s Lea Gallery, located inside the Virginia B. Gardner Fine Arts Pavilion.            

An artist’s reception will be 6 – 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, in the gallery.

Ballweg is a professor of art and the head of printmaking at Bowling Green State University.

Born in Madison, Wis., she earned degrees in printmaking at the UW-Madison and the University of IL–Urbana/Champaign. Since 1983, her work has been exhibited in more than 300 shows and has won numerous awards, including a 2008 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award.

As an artist, Ballweg combines digital technologies with traditional and innovative printmaking processes because she enjoys the challenge and experimental nature of new technologies, yet still loves the smell and look of ink on paper. Her domestic interiors challenge the viewer to think about the expectations, potential and psychological tensions that exist within a single moment of time.
