“On the Ball,” a collection of paintings by Kennebunk resident Nora Tyron, will be on display at the University of New England’s Biddeford Campus Center from November 15, 2016 to January 17, 2017. An artist’s reception will be held on Sunday, November 20, 2016 from 4 to 6 p.m.

Inspired by the intricate textures of the natural world and the situations that humans face in the dawn of the 21st century, Tryon’s paintings celebrate the vulnerable beauty of a changing world.

She is an active member of the Union of Maine Visual Artists (UMVA) and participates in a variety of UMVA projects, including the Maine Drawathon Collaboration, the Artists Rapid Response Team (ARRT!) and LumenARRT! Her work has been shown in museums, galleries, events, installations and touring exhibitions.

Previously, Tryon taught art in the Biddeford Public Schools for 20 years and served as an artist-in-residence for a variety of organizations.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. UNE’s Campus Center is located at 11 Hills Beach Road, Biddeford, Maine. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For more information, contact Diane Noble by email or phone (207-284-6394).
