An Illusion of Loveliness, a series of prints by Painting and Printmaking senior Jamie Brinker, will feature a selection of works that examine the female experience and critiques contemporary standards of being. Pieces range from lithographs to experimental monotypes. These prints exist as an extension of Brinker’s Flower People series, which portrays female-presenting bodies as depictions of flowers.

An Illusion of Loveliness will open from 5 to 8pm Friday, October 4 at Deep Dive Art Projects in Cleveland's Waterloo Arts District. The opening reception will take place during the district's monthly Walk All Over Waterloo art walk.

An Illusion of Loveliness was created through CIA's Creativity Works program, which is made possible by the generous support of the Fenn Educational Fund and the G.R. Lincoln Family Foundation. Creativity Works is a self-initiated internship program with the goal of supporting a student's professional development. Participating students create proposals that align with their long-term professional goals.
