Instructor's Art On Display
by Nathan Lee Gadsden
Subdued colors sometimes paint a
gloomy picture, but they enhance the
animation in the Humanities gallery
exhibit "Italy Revisited."
Artist Linda Mylin Ross, a Penn
State Harrisburg instructor, succeeds in
depicting "images in stone as inhabiting
a haunting melodramatic world" and the
animated landscape of the Italian
countryside.
The foreboding lion of Naval
Monument, Venice" nobly guards
against all intruders - past, present or
future. As well, the face growing from a
building in "Street in Venice" reflects '
the anguish of past troubled times.
Of particular interest is the animation
provided by Ross in her landscapes. She
captures what she calls the "rhythm" of
the rolling Italian countryside.
In all the exhibit's landscapes, Ross
reaches her objective. "In my drawings,
I wanted to accent the patterns that are
particularly pronounced when the Italian
hills glow in the early evening light,"
she said.
Ross also works hard to bring the
works of other artists to PSH. She
works with Janet Widoff of Student
Activities to arrange exhibits for the

Symptoms of the stomach virus are
nausea, fever, body aches and diarrhea.

exhibits for the Heindel library, and plan
exhibits for the Humanities gallery
where her works are on display.
"Some schools have a full-time paid
gallery director to do what we do
voluntarily," Ross said.
In her full-time capacity as an
assistant professor of Humanities and
Education at Penn State Harrisburg
where she has taught for six years, Ross
teaches courses in studio art, art
education and art history. She said she
has taught and developed 14 courses

Ross holds a B.S. in Art Education
and an M.A. in Humanities from PSH,
and an M.F.A. from Maryland Institute
College of Art. She currently resides in
Marietta where she has been restoring a
large Victorian house for 13 years.
Ross said the selection process for
exhibits involves evaluating more then
100 letters of interest each year. "We
look for artists that have a respectable
exhibition record and who are doinu

get rid of the fever and body aches; all
you can do is wait it out," Kresge said.
