University City Arts League (UCAL) presents local printmaker, teacher and graphic designer, Megan Fentzloff, in a solo exhibition of mixed media etchings, Under the Surface. The show at University City Arts League Gallery, 4226 Spruce Street in Philadelphia, opens Friday, June 13 with a reception from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm and closes on Saturday, July 5. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

For more information, contact 215-382-7811 or www.ucartsleague.org.

Under the Surface features etchings from two complimentary series of works. The first series of images deals with the deconstruction of an industrial environment and integrates layered clay prints under each etching. The second series concentrates on the visual deconstruction of a natural environment and uses the leaf as an integral element in the process and finished image. These compositions are further developed with the addition of watercolor and layering of thread. Both series reflect Fentzloff’s connection to her surroundings and use textural elements to enhance the composition visually and conceptually.

Fentzloff earned her BS in design from Drexel University. Her teaching credits include Drexel University, Delaware College of Art & Design and Fleisher Art Memorial where she currently instructs adult etching classes and youth art classes. Locally, her work has been shown at DaVinci Gallery, Philadelphia Sketch Club and Works on Paper/Faculty exhibitions at Fleisher Art Memorial.

UCAL Gallery hours are: Mon.-Thurs. Noon-7pm; Friday Noon-6pm; Saturday 11:30AM-1:30PM; and Sunday by appointment.
