Additionally, Shirley Smith’s work will be on display in the Eccles Grand Foyer.
For Burtera, who has had a long career of commercial photography that began with a picture of a Jaguar for “Car and Driver,” he has never been without inspiration through the lens.
“I found that I could turn the mundane into an interesting and arresting picture, both real and abstract,” Burtera said. “It is where I have arrived and probably will occupy me for some time.”
The Sears Art Museum Gallery is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Dolores Doré Eccles Fine Arts Center at DSU. The gallery features six exhibits each year. Offering a variety of art styles from traditional to contemporary, the gallery exists for the enjoyment and education of Dixie State University students and the community.
