The works of artist Donnamaria Bruton will be on display from Nov. 13, through Dec. 7, in Fairfield University's Lukacs Gallery, Loyola Hall, Room 17. The exhibit opens with a reception at 5:30 p.m.; a lecture follows at 6 p.m.

Bruton's work has been described as having a uniquely feminine character and a sense of form and dimension assumed through layering techniques which she achieves through the careful selection and placement of objects, patterns, shapes and color.

An associate professor of painting at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Bruton has exhibited her work at the Drawing Center in New York City; one of her pieces is in the permanent collection at the Rhode Island School of Design museum. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree in graphic design from Michigan State University, attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received a master's degree in fine arts with a concentration in painting and printmaking from Yale University.

The gallery is open Mondays through Fridays and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. For gallery hours and information, call (203) 254-4000, ext. 2476.
