AT THE FINE ARTS CENTER FOR THE NEW RIVER VALLEY

LENGTH: Short :   23 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  "365 - A Year of Art Making" is the unique exhibit 
          showing this month at the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley 
          in Pulaski. Done by Barbara Norman-Lashley, the exhibit features 365
          individual masonite panels on which the artist recorded each day of 
          the year 1993. The scenes reflect Norman-Lashley's travels to Paris,
          Russia and New Mexico, as well as the adventures, joys, sorrows and 
          daily routines of the year. "I went to Paris in February, Russia in 
          May and New Mexico in July and August, so some works are like travel
          journals," she said. "The pieces reflect things that happened 
          throughout the year, somewhat like a diary."  Pictured here is the 
          artist's work for the month of March.
