Two UA graduate students use art to represent their lives

Art has often been used to express emotion, provoke discussion and document important events.

University of Arizona graduate students Smita Kohl Mathews and Kristen Heist, intend their artwork to do all three.

Their paintings in the newly opened exhibit "Time, Place and Relationship," at the Lionel Rombach Gallery in the Fine Arts Complex, each relate to exactly what the title implies - a time, place or relationship in each of the artists' lives.
