The Memorial Gallery is located in Hale Hall. The exhibit is free and open to the public weekdays, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. The show is curated by gallery director Beth Giacummo.

Dumas will discuss and demonstrate her work on Tuesday, March 7 in Gleeson Hall Room 104, from

11 a.m. – noon. A reception for the artist is scheduled for 5 - 7 p.m. in Hale Hall.

Dumas employs natural light and a variety of substrates to capture the way natural light creates unique combinations of color, shapes, textures and reflections.

Dumas studied at Pratt Institute, Parsons School of Design, and the International Center for Photography
