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 College students are annual high achievers in the national Model United Nations competition. Alma has received Outstanding Delegation awards in each of the last 13 years (1997 through 2009) at the world's largest and most prestigious collegiate Model UN Conference in New York City.

Prof. Carrie Parks-Kirby
Departments: Art and Design

The work of Carrie Parks-Kirby, professor of art and design, reflects an ongoing interest in historical, architectural, and ceramic forms while exploring contemporary themes through personal, often autobiographical, imagery. “I have felt deeply the influence of figures made for the tombs of ancient Chinese and Japanese nobles: Haniwa courtiers and farmers, Han dwellings and processions, T’ang horses and Q’uin soldiers,” she said. “The eloquent gestures and facial expressions of Mayan and Olmec figures and the serene dignity of Etruscan terra cotta couples never fail to move me.”
