An exhibition titled Wake by Stephanie Pierce, assistant professor of paint in the art department will be on display from May 28 to June 29 at the Steven Harvey Fine Arts Projects in New York City. Opening will be from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 28.

The Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects is at 208 Forsyth St., New York City. Contact the projects at 917-861-7312 or info@shfap.com.

Pierce received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Washington in Seattle and her Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Art Institute of Boston, and she attended the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art. Sourcing common objects, Pierce’s perceptually based paintings reveal passages of change as light and viewpoints shift over time and the everyday resides in a state of flux.

Her painting seeks an intersection between perception and abstraction using the phenomenon of light, space, and form as personal metaphor. Working from perception, Pierce wishes to convey a sense of the visual as it is unfolding into forms and space that are at once material and immaterial. The accumulation of observed moments stand as fragments of color, light, and location, as they change with the progression of each day.

Her work is represented by Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects in New York and Alpha Gallery in Boston and has been exhibited nationally including The Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Asheville Art Museum, North Carolina; Space Gallery, Portland, and Art Chicago. In 2012 she was awarded an Arkansas Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship. Her work is included in the collections of Joan and Roger Sonnabend, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Boston Public Library.
