Madelon Powers Gallery
Miharu Lane wanted to capture life’s fleeting moments in her paintings. Miharu Lane: Passage of Time is the opening exhibit of the 2015-16 season of East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania’s Madelon Powers Gallery, which will be displayed September 1-30.

Hours for the gallery, located in the university’s Fine and Performing Arts Center, are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays; and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. The gallery is closed on Monday, September 7.

A reception for the artist will be held on Wednesday, September 16 from 4-6 p.m. in the gallery. Both the exhibit and reception are open to the public at no cost.

“Old cars, abandoned houses, projects left forgotten, memories of what has happened in the past remind of the passage of time,” said Lane, ESU professor emerita of art. “Water, like time, passes from babbling brook to turbulent seas, it is never the same. I paint the fleeting moments as they pass by in my life.”

A longtime Pocono resident, Lane paints in the region and at Chincoteague Island, Va. She has exhibited at Penn State University, George Mason University, Suraci Gallery, Whittaker Center of Science and the Arts, Allentown Art Museum, Synagogue for the Arts, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and many other places, including previous solo shows at the Madelon Powers Gallery.

Lane became nationally known for her limited edition lithographs published by Doubleday and Co., New York Graphics Society, Original Prints, Inc., and for Mitch Morse Gallery. Her biography is included in Who’s Who of America, and in Who’s Who in American Art.

An ESU alumna with a B.A. in Fine Art, Lane earned an M.F.A. from Marywood University. She also studied at Virginia Commonwealth University, Maryland Institute of Fine Arts, and California College of the Arts, Oakland.
