Sands of Time

Sands of Time

In the print “Sands of Time” dark shadows and textures come together with silver and grey tones to form an almost surreal beach setting. Sandy Lopez-Isnardi, associate professor of art and design, has been making traditional gelatin prints like this for over 20 years. Her work also includes non-silver and chromogenic prints and most recently has focused on the Midwestern landscape in photography. Her digital work is experimental, including two-dimensional and installation works.

Lopez-Isnardi has a wide background of professional and educational experience. Throughout her career she has been involved in commercial and fine art photography. Professionally, she has worked as a graphic designer and photographer for various corporations and small businesses in New York and Cincinnati. She has studied in an overseas program at Universidad de Sevilla and taught for a year at University of Sacred Heart in Puerto Rico.

Lopez-Isnardi has been involved as an advisor for the Pine River Anthology. The anthology is a student-produced literary and arts magazine that exemplifies the creativity, talent and hard work of many Alma College students. She received a Bachelor of Science degree from the State University of New York at New Paltz and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Cincinnati.

 

Alma’s “green” residence hall, Wright Hall, was completed in January 2005. The modern, 60-bed apartment-style hall features a number of environmentally friendly features, including geothermal heating and cooling, recycled-content ceiling tiles and carpeting, energy-efficient windows, rooftop solar heating panels, energy-efficient showers and washing machines, and a computerized energy monitoring system.

Earl Elowsky didn’t plan on taking an art class when he came to Alma, but the liberal arts education made him realize his passion.
