Arthur is one of 31 artists represented in the show, which opened on September 19^th in St. Francis College's Callahan Center.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall... is the first public display from Curry's collection. Amassed over a 30 year period, the private collector intends to gift more than 220 works to the College that reflect, in many cases, deeply personal, global perspectives on humanity and culture.

Arthur's Rapuncelle #5, a mixed-media collage on paper, is one of the 33 works on display in Mirror Mirror on the Wall...

A graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Arthur earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University. Her artwork focuses on a combination of painting, sculpture, drawing, and uses smoke, paint, clay, and collage. It has been exhibited widely in galleries and museums in New York City and elsewhere in the United States and abroad.

"Every piece in Mirror Mirror on the Wall.. is deeply personal to me, and Daphne's beautiful work is no exception," said Lise Curry. "I am so honored she is joining us to close the exhibit. Her work and artistic achievements are of such great interest that her presentation will captivate and inspire."

Mirror Mirror on the Wall... remains open for viewing through December 17^th. For more information about the exhibit and some of the artists in it, watch the videos available here.
