Mankato, Minn. – The 45th annual Douglas R. Moore Faculty Research Lecture at Minnesota State University, Mankato will feature a presentation by faculty member Brian Frink at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 27 in Ostrander Auditorium, located in Minnesota State Mankato’s Centennial Student Union.

Frink’s presentation, titled “Magical Landscapes: A Discussion of the Creation of a Work of Art,” is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served following the presentation in the Hearth Lounge – Centennial Student Union Art Gallery.

In a preview of his lecture, Frink, an associate professor in the Department of Art in Minnesota State Mankato’s College of Arts and Humanities, wrote:

“I am so very grateful for this opportunity to present my creative research to a broad campus and community audience. I will be presenting the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the creation of one of my paintings from my series of works I call Magical Landscapes. My hope is to demystify the creative process for those in attendance. Perhaps through this demystification we will be able to experience the magic of our world.”

For more information about the subject of the lecture, contact Frink by phone at 507-389-6413 or by email at brian.frink@mnsu.edu.
