Central College is hosting the works of fiber artist Elizabeth Rhoads Read in the Mills Gallery until Friday, September 20th. 

Read uses simple materials such as paper, discarded fabric and abject items to create organic sculptures. Elizabeth’s style features an assemblance of rearranged fragments, to create illusive light, interspersed space, and speculation. Read graduated from Cornell College with a degree in art and political science. She has spent over 50 years creating, exhibiting, and teaching art. Her work has been exhibited and included in both the U.S. and abroad. Read currently lives and works in Cedar Rapids.

The Mills Gallery in the Lubbers Center for the Visual Arts on Central’s campus, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 pm Monday through Friday.
