Sandy Winters combines the mediums of printmaking, drawing, and painting to realize her mural-like constructions of an imagined future of biological plant-animal-machine hybrids. Winters earned a BS from the University of New Hampshire and a MFA from Cornell University. Her work tends to depict environments of largely abstracted forms that are forbidding yet playful and birarre yet familiar. For the last 40 years, her art has been exhibited widely in both group and solo exhibitions held throughout the United States. Some of her more recent solo exhibitions include "Sandy Winters: Creation and Destruction" at the Deland Museum; "Williamson Memorial Award: 10-Year Survey" at the Indiana State University Art Gallery; "Metamorphosis" at the Flaten Art Museum in Forthfield, Minnesota; and "In My Back Yard" at George Adams Gallery in New York City.

Original eighteenth-century prints by German naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) as well as those by her followers—including Carolus Linnaeus, Christiaan Sepp, and others—are featured in this exhibition curated by Gettysburg College students Emily Roush ’21 and Shannon Zeltmann ’21 under the direction of Prof. Felicia Else and Prof. Kay Etheridge. These intricate, accurate, and compellingly beautiful compositions reflect the artists’ and scientists’ extensive travels, dedication to scientific inquiry, and a thorough, innovative understanding of ecological frameworks. This exhibition is made possible by a generous gift by Bruce and Betsy Stefany and loans from Professor Kay Etheridge.

Through paintings, prints and works on paper, Andrew Ellis Johnson and Susanne Slavick examine the contradictory fears and hypocrisies, ignored histories and punitive policies surrounding the challenge of migrants and refugees today. The works in Getting There question and expose the consequences of our resentment or fear of “the stranger.” Getting There is not just about the journey and reception of migrants; it is also about the movement of our own consciences.

In her exhibition titled "The Domestic," artist Zoë Charlton creates large-scale collages, drawings, and a sculptural installation that explore the " complexities of contemporary social and cultural stereotypes. Recurring imagery in Charlton's work --suburban houses, African masks, paper dolls, and lush landscapes--provides a new approach to issues and representations of black identity. "The Domestic" examines notions of care-taking across racial and class lines, the fragility and failings of a home, and the complications of gender and sexuality in relation to this intensely bodily work.
