BELLEFONTE —

One of the more than 60 artists listed in the Bellefonte Art Museum’s registry is Mary Vollero. Here is her statement:  

Mary Vollero lives in Bellefonte and is an instructor in art at Penn State DuBois.

She works in a variety of media, and sometimes combines painting, photography, printmaking and video. No matter the media, similar threads run throughout her work, which speak about beauty and themes common to us all, such as loss, suffering, hope and transformation.

Examples of her work can be seen at http://maryvollero.com.

The Bellefonte Art Museum celebrates the human spirit through the arts, recognizing the importance of art in our lives. In 2011, the museum experienced a large increase in attendance, private donations and membership and completed refurbishing the historic Linn House.  The museum opened three new galleries: the Children’s Creativity Center, the Anna Wagner Keichline Gallery and the new Louise Bloom Sieg Gallery. The museum is opened Friday through Sunday from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Phone 814.355.4280.
