SUMA is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.
Gaines is best known for kid oriented art and illustrations. Her commercial designs are inspired by vintage children’s books along with the colors and shapes of nature. She has recently finished illustrating A Child’s Introduction to African-American History by Jabari Asim which will be released in January 2018.
Gaines says on her blog that, “I like the challenge of making diverse images and I love to illustrate pieces that look like they are stitched.”
Gaines studied illustration and photography at Cleveland Institute of Art, has worked for American Greetings for over 25 years, and is now represented by Painted Word.
Art Insights is hosted during the fall and spring semesters by SUU’s Art & Design faculty. Students and community members meet to experience presentations and discussions by visiting artists and art educators from around the nation who share their work and insights.
