"Dreamscapes" by Alexandra Isaievych on exhibit at Woodrow Wilson School

PRINCETON, N.J. - "Dreamscapes," an exhibit of paintings by Alexandra Isaievych, is on display at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, in Robertson Hall's Bernstein Gallery, December 13 through January 14, 2000.

Ms. Isaievych, a resident of Summit, N.J., is an accomplished artist who earned her master of public affairs degree from the Woodrow Wilson School in 1995. She works primarily in oil and acrylics, and describes her paintings as explorations of "the hidden mysteries of life - a diverse, dynamic and colorful array of different worlds in which people, nature, thoughts, spirits and emotions interact."

A native of Lviv, who holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and Tufts University, Ms. Isaievych often includes in her paintings icon-like figures that reflect a strong Byzantine influence, portrayed in a minimalist style.

Combining her passion for art with an interest in public policy and economics, Ms. Isaievych has worked on several economic assistance programs in Ukraine, an experience that has strengthened her conviction that "art which provides inspiration for reclaiming the dignity of the human spirit is as essential as good economic advice."

Her work has previously been exhibited at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute in Cambridge, Mass., The Ukrainian Museum in New York City, and the New Jersey Center for Visual Arts in Summit, N.J.

There will be a reception for the artist on Sunday, January 9, at 2 p.m. at the gallery. The Bernstein Gallery in Robertson Hall is open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends. There is no charge for admission.
