The show features a diverse array of Ferman’s work, such as uniquely glazed ceramic pottery, sculpture, paintings, drawings, prints and etchings, silver point, jewelry, wood blocks, and metal work.

“We are deeply grateful to Florence Ferman for the gift of her collection to the Oviatt Library. She is a very talented artist, and the current exhibit displays the versatility and the beauty of her work. We are privileged that she chose CSUN for her gift,” said Cindy Ventuleth, the library’s director of development. “When the exhibit closes at the end of March, many of the items will continue on permanent display throughout the library for the enjoyment of our students and the community.”

Ferman’s pieces are being shown now through March 25 in the library’s C.K. and Teresa Tseng Gallery, on the 2nd floor of the west wing.

“Ferman’s personal perception of beauty, refined surface treatments, sophisticated color sense, and exacting technique act in concert to produce works that explore space and material with distinct sensitivity,” said Jessica Holada, the exhibition curator.

Ferman graduated from CSUN with a B.A. in art. Her critically acclaimed works have been exhibited in many museums around the world, including the Los Angeles County and Pasadena Art Museums. Her porcelains are part of the permanent collection of the United Nation’s Ariana Museum in Geneva.

An opening reception with Ms. Ferman present will be held Sunday, Feb. 26, at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served. For more information and to R.S.V.P., call Joyclyn Dunham at (818) 677-2638.
