(Worcester, Mass.) -- Worcester State University's Interdisciplinary Visual and Performing Arts Major will host a talk with local artist Meg Brown Payson, on Monday, April 9, at 5:30 p.m. in the Ghosh Science and Technology Building, Room 102, as part the Spring Artist Speaker Series.
 
Payson is an associate professor of Drawing and Foundation at Maine College of Art. She received her BFA from Boston University in 1977 and her MFA from Vermont College in 1993. Payson’s most recent work reflects her close interest in the new images brought to us through the scientific and medical imaging. She delights in making abstract paintings that seem to suggest life in the unseen world of cells and galaxies. New worlds on the threshold of the seen and unseen are suggested in her layered canvases. Her solo shows include Walker Contemporary in Boston and her work was included in the Decordova Museum Big Bang show in 2007 which featured outstanding American artists who have reinvigorated abstract painting.
