MONROE, LA – The University of Louisiana Monroe School of Visual and Performing Arts is proud to
present visual artist Rosemary Jesionowski on display at Bry Hall Gallery, 4101 desiard
St., on ULM’s campus. The exhibition of photographs is titled “Born of This Volcano”
and is on display through October 18, 2023.
The exhibit will feature albumen prints, which is a print made using albumen paper,
and was popular for photographic printing between 1850 and 1900. To make this happen,
thin paper is coated with a layer of egg-white (albumen) containing salt and sensitized
with a silver nitrate solution, then printed using daylight under a negative.
“[Here at ULM VAPA], we exhibit work by a variety of fine artists from across the
nation in an attempt to supplement the education of our students and provide them
with a valuable networking opportunity,” said ULM art professor, Dr. Clifford Tresner.
The School of Visual and Performing Arts at the University of Louisiana Monroe aims
to provide students with the highest level of arts education, research and educational
opportunities to majors and minors. VAPA aims to offer curricular, co-curricular and
extracurricular opportunities to students enrolled at ULM, as well as provide cultural
activities, special events and performances for university, local and area communities.
