VANCOUVER, WASH. - 鈥淚mago Dei鈥 or 鈥淚mage of God," a collection of paintings by Washington State University junior Danica Wixom, is on exhibit at Washington State University Vancouver in the Dengerink Administration building gallery through March 14.
Wixom鈥檚 colorful acrylics on canvas and mixed-media artworks explore facets of the collision and confluence of man and God.
鈥淭he relationship between man and God is filled with emotions, obstacles, miracles and mysteries. I am continually exploring these complexities through my art,鈥 said Wixom. 鈥淚 want the viewer to think about what is happening in the piece and why I chose to portray an image in that way.鈥
Originally from Vancouver, Wixom is a 2009 graduate of the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics. Many of the paintings in her exhibit were created during Wixom鈥檚 senior year at VSAA as part of her advanced placement studio art portfolio requirement. Wixom continues to create art at WSU Pullman within her humanities major and as a freelance artist. She plans to graduate from WSU in May 2013 with a double major in humanities general studies and Spanish.
