A collection of artwork by Park Ridge native Mary Lin Yoshimura will be exhibited at the Brickton Art Center, 306 Busse Highway, Park Ridge, through March 3.
A free reception for the public will be 5-7 p.m. Feb. 4 at the art center.
Yoshimura, who now lives in Chicago as a professional artist, was born in Park Ridge and attended St. Paul of the Cross School. Yoshimura’s colorful collages are assembled on small, gold-bordered Japanese calligraphy tablets known as shikishi boards. The individual boards are floated in symmetrical grid-like patterns in museum-grade matting.
Yoshimura’s imagery is frequently inspired by Japanese and other Asian cultures like Indian and Malaysian. She uses a variety of materials, including paint, print, fabrics, textured and patterned Japanese papers, and appliques of found objects to achieve three-dimensional textures.
