Magale Library to host reception for opening exhibits

SHREVEPORT, LA — Centenary's Magale Library is hosting a reception for an opening exhibit featuring works by Diane Long '78/'80 and Marilyn Brinker. The reception will be Sunday, September 1, at 2:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Long and Brinker's exhibits will remain on display in Magale's lobby through September 30.

Long is a plein aire painter who works with graphite, Intaglio printmaking, pastel, and oil and acrylic paint. "My paintings allow a viewer to look into another world or somewhere they might never have been before or it may be reminiscent of a favorite place," said Long.

Brinker creates through mixed media and photography. "My current work is an expression of the whimsical side of me, my inner child," said Brinker. "My work usually has a subtle message. Everything I create has a universal appeal because it's what we see and feel in our lives."
