JAN. 5-MARCH 30 | WAUSAU MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

FA_Jan5_WMOCA-JoycePolance_Stray_010319.jpg

This Chicago-based expressionist oil painter explores vulnerability through her subject matter and painting process. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City in 1988. Using expressive brushwork, Polance reflects elements of her own vulnerabilities such as being a woman, loneliness, obsessive thinking and sensitivity. Her willingness to be exposed and reveal her inner, chaotic experiences in her work make her paintings personal and inspirational as they reflect real emotions that forge genuine human connections. Reception and lecture Jan. 7, 6-9 pm. Gallery hours: Tues.-Sat. noon-5 pm. 715-571-6551, Wmoca.org.
