Finlandia University Gallery 435 Quincy , Hancock, Michigan 49930
"Color of Kindness: Anne Beffel" will be featured at the Finlandia University Gallery, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock, Michigan, October 25 to December 1.
Artist Anne Beffel and the Finlandia University community will explore how people visualize kindness by asking, "What is the color of kindness?" Beffel asked friends and strangers this question for four months and translated their responses into nearly 100 paintings.
Beffel is an associate professor of art at Syracuse University, New York. Since earning degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Iowa, and participating in the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Studio Program in New York City, she has worked within contexts as diverse as the World Financial Center in Lower Manhattan, Saint John¹s Benedictine monastery in rural Minnesota, and the New York Downtown Hospital and surrounding streets, offices and community centers.
