Mary Hart exhibits her paintings and monoprints of the female form Nov. 6 to Dec. 8 at the Simmons College Trustman Art Gallery, fourth floor Simmons Main Campus Building, 300 The Fenway. A reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Nov. 9 will include a gallery talk at 5 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

"Ephemeral" is the first solo Boston exhibition since 1989 of Hart’s work. The exhibit includes recent paintings and monoprints concerned with the female form and its relationship to insects, seeds, and decay. The delicate, transient quality of Hart’s small-scale images alludes to ideas connected to germination and lifecycles.

Hart, from Portland, ME, employs the process of Xerox lithography, which is used to transfer imagery from sketchbooks and actual objects. She is a member of the Peregrine Press Printmaking Cooperative and has actively exhibited throughout New England.

Exhibit hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The gallery is closed on Nov. 10 and from Nov. 22 to Nov. 24. The gallery is wheelchair accessible. For more information, contact Christine Kromer at 617-521-2268 .
