Deborah Dancy, from University of Connecticut, has just taught a drawing and painting class at ISI, as part of a five-course studio arts track (see article in previous issue).
From October 16 to November 24, 2012, SACI Gallery hosted an exhibition of her watercolors entitled Dear Giotto. Go to webpage

In explaining the title of her collection of works, Professor Dancy says: “Colors still vibrant in ancient frescos, imagined scaffolding that soared to staggering heights holding both artist and assistant; glimpses of wedges of color between buildings lit by the setting sun as I walk the city and the shimmering greens of distant cypress trees on the surrounding hillside, are also echoed in this series. The weight of history and the architecture of form illuminate my awareness. These works are my notes to Dear Giotto.”
