Following the Sun: the Art of Sue Jean Covacevich 1905-1998 March 20, 2010

Sue Jean Covacevich established herself as a dynamic artist and art educator in south-central Kansas after spending more than a decade working and teaching in Mexico. This exhibition surveys the career of this native of Wellington, Kansas, who spent most of her career in Winfield, a community southeast of Wichita. Covacevich worked in many media, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, mosaic, and stained glass, and she trod between the representational and abstract. Her subjects ranged from the Kansas landscape to world monuments to the heliotropic sunflower - an apt metaphor for the openness and movement that defined her career and work.
