September Art Exhibit
The Poetry Center will be exhibiting new work from the artist Mildred Lachman Chapin for the month of September. The series of paintings, called Visual Haikus, are small format in echo to the haiku poems that accompany each piece.
Lachman Chapin has been painting since 1960, exhibiting in Europe and in many venues in the US. She works primarily with oils on canvas, but has produced a number of monotypes as well. Some of these are reproduced in the book of her painting and poetry entitled Reverberations: Mothers and Daughters, 1994. She has continued writing and studying poetry at the Poetry Center since she came to Tucson in 2002.
