Shore Gallery features Sadler’s ‘Until Now’

September 9, 2014 by Catherine Blakemore

The lifelong work of Ginna Sadler, professor of art, is shown at Shore Art Gallery, featuring jewelry, paintings, drawings and mixed media.

“The pieces start at my time at University of Texas, undergrad,” Sadler said. “I majored in art education, and so art education is one of those things where you try everything so that you can teach it to your students.”

Unbeknownst to many students, Shore Art Gallery is located on campus as part of the Department of Art and Design to display the mesmerizing talent of local artists and students.

Expressed in each of her pieces is the immaculate and detailed care that went into merging styles, molding metal and making something unforgettable. The ‘Until Now’ exhibit takes the span of work from one artist and shows the variation and talent that can only come from extensive practice and clear vision.

“The most fun was all the reactions from my family,” Sadler said. “They looked around and they said, ‘Where have you been keeping all this stuff?'”

The show doesn’t just represent her own work, but represents what artists can achieve and do for themselves, which is Sadler’s encouragement for her own students.

“A lot of my students here came up to me and really appreciated the breadth of medium that I was using,” Sadler said. “I pontificated and said ‘This is a lifetime of work and you need to go forth and do the same.'”

Without knowing the extent, Sadler agreed to display her work in the gallery with the assumption of it being displayed with other artists.

“It turned into a one-woman show,” Sadler said. “I didn’t want to call it a retrospective, because that sounds so final. So I called it ‘Until Now.'”

The gallery, located on the first floor of the Don Morris Communication building, is open to students daily from 1-5pm.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
