"Studio art teacher to discuss her work at DIA"

"In a series of paintings by Special Lecturer of Art and Art History Sally Schluter Tardella, she depicts small objects such as a teacup, old union badge or necklace held loosely in the outstretched palm of a hand. They're everyday items you might see in a box at a rummage sale. But while they may have no special meaning in such an environment, Tardella presents them as offerings representing the spiritual side of modern life. Tardella will deliver a slide presentation of her paintings on Saturday, April 17, at 1:30 and 3 p.m. at the Detroit Institute of Arts as part of its Artist's Choice series."
