Painting in the Wilderness . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Bill Brody
November 6, 2:00 pm at the University Park Building
For the past 20 years Bill Brody has been going into the wilderness of Alaska’s mountains to paint. He says, “I spend my time chasing light and dancing shadow, trying to capture the dynamic richness of this spare and wonderful northern landscape.” Then in the winter he reflects on his summer experiences and makes prints and intensely colored paintings on canvas and carved metal, fusing the figure with the landscape.
Bill Brody is a well known Alaska artist and UAF Professor of Art Emeritus.

Opera at Christmas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Theresa Reed
December 4, 2:00 pm at the University Park Building

Theresa Reed appeared in a production of this opera that appeared on Fairbanks television in 1969. She is the Stage Director for this performance.
