Northern Essex Community College adjunct art professor Dianne Pappas is the featured artist for an upcoming show at the Boston Sculptors Gallery. It’s titled mini monuments and is described by the gallery as “constructed compositions of symbols, lines, tallies, maps, markings, and characters. Fiberfill, vitamin capsules, rubber mold, tarlatan, clay, wire, masking paper, resin, corrugated metal, hangers, reflective mylar, and bubble gum are comforting, regimented, bouncy, accepting, foundational, transparent, shiny, supportive, distorted, and tasty.”

mini monuments opens on August 29 and runs through September 29. The Boston Sculptors Gallery is located at 486 Harrison Ave, Boston, and is open from 11 am to 5 pm Wednesdays through Sundays. Artists’ receptions are scheduled for September 14 and 28 from 5 to 8 pm.

Dianne received her MFA in Studio Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). She has exhibited her work in a variety of venues around the country. Most recently, she has shown her work at the Fitchburg Art Museum, the virtual AREACODE art fair in Boston, and the Linda Hummel-Shea Artspace at NECC where she had a solo show called Are We There Yet?

In addition to her studio practice at the Everett Mills in Lawrence, Dianne teaches Three Dimensional Foundations for the Art & Design department at NECC.
