Through October 11: Dimensions of Realism: Beyond the Extracurricular Exhibit

The College of Southern Nevada, School of Arts & Letters, and Department of Fine Arts, in collaboration with the City of Henderson, hosts a two-person exhibition of paintings by CSN Art & Art History Faculty Lolita Develay and her former student, Ann Fuhring.

Dimensions of Realism: Beyond the Extracurricular – The work of Lolita Develay and Ann Fuhring explores how both artists pursue realist traditions in their artwork, as it subtly acknowledges the mentor-mentee relationship. 

Lolita Develay received her MFA in Painting from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2014. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and born in Pearblossom, California she is a painter and artist whose chromatic paintings are integrated with statements on access and social values. Develay’s oeuvre embodies a dynamic blend of geographical influences, cultural intersections, and social consciousness. With themes of beauty, sexuality, race, and spirituality, Develay’s work serves as a mirror to the complex state of American life.

Ann Fuhring received her BA in Painting from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2015, using GI Bill benefits, after serving for 20+ years in the US Navy and the Intelligence Community. While at UNLV, Ann was a student of Lolita Develay. Ann eschewed pursuing an MFA and chose to focus on mastering specific techniques over formal academic progression. She uses traditional oil painting techniques to explore untraditional subject matter drawn from an ongoing engagement with visual culture, accompanied by audiobooks, podcasts, Spotify, and iTunes.
