It also helps me make decisions. It&#8217;s like, OK, I&#8217;ve got to make something. Everything I need is in my studio. Now, go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And go she does. Hovsepian\u2019s one-of-a-kind pieces are exhibited internationally and are in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Guggenheim Museum and the Studio Museum in Harlem. She also was featured in the exhibition and book, \u201cPhotography is Magic,\u201d which was published by Aperture and chronicles experimental approaches to photographic art. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing recognized by Aperture is quite an accomplishment,\u201d Deborah Orloff, UToledo professor and associate chair of art, said. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly gratifying to see our students flourish, and I\u2019m thrilled to see how successful Sheree has been. Ever since she was a student here, Sheree\u2019s talent has been obvious. She\u2019s always had a sophisticated sense of pulling together disparate media to create artwork that\u2019s both beautiful and thought-provoking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hovsepian received a bachelor of fine arts degree from UToledo in 1999 and continued her education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she graduated with a master of fine arts degree in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>She is represented by Higher Pictures in New York and Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the free, public visiting artist lecture, contact the UToledo Department of Art at 419.530.8300.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57994\" style=\"width: 446px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/?attachment_id=57994\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-57994\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57994\" src=\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Keeper.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"436\" height=\"540\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Keeper.jpg 436w, https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Keeper-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-57994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cKeeper,\u201d mixed media (silver gelatin photograph, photogram, nylon) by Sheree Hovsepian<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City artist Sheree Hovsepian will talk about her art Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 10 a.m. in the Center for the Visual Arts Haigh Auditorium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50,4,60,5,7],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57969"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57969"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57995,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57969\/revisions\/57995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
