Circling Round Featured Artist: Isabelle Luca

Isabelle Luca has been selected as a featured artist in the Miami University Art Museum 2020 Student Response Exhibition! Luca is a junior art education and art therapy major from Cincinnati. She chose to attend Miami based on influences from her past art teachers and location. In her free time, she likes to listen to music, watch movies and spend time with family and friends. For her future dream career, she is torn between wanting to be an art teacher or a tattoo artist.

Her featured artwork, Planet Full of Suckers, was inspired by, “ignorance of society and candy!” said Luca. In her artwork, she works mostly with painting as a medium but enjoys clay sculpture the most.

This year’s SRE topic was Circling ‘Round, where students thought about what a circle meant to them and how they might interpret it in art. Nearly 100 submissions were received. 32 works by 58 students were chosen to be featured in the Spring 2020 exhibition. As a juried exhibition, all works were selected through a formal process by a committee.

The exhibition will open Tuesday, January 28 and will remain through alumni weekend, closing on June 13. Voting will be open until April 11, 2020. There will be an artist celebration and award ceremony held on April 14, 2020, from 6 to 8 PM where three works will be awarded prizes totaling over $800. The awards are sponsored by the Art Museum Membership Association.

Come see Isabelle Luca’s artwork along with the rest of the student response exhibition, Circling ‘Round, at the Miami University Art Museum!
