The works of Raye Leith K ’78 were on view at the McLean Project for the Arts in McLean, Virginia, beginning Sept. 16. Titled Topography of Memory: New Works by Raye Leith, the show is a display of largely figurative drawings influenced by the Art Nouveau movement. Electric and vibrant color choices take the works in a contemporary direction. The show, on exhibit until October 30, is free and open to the public.

Leith, who works primarily in figure drawing, oil painting and portraiture, is a lecturer in these subjects in the Department of Theatre at the University of Maryland. After Kirkland she received her MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology and work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe.

The MPA is a non-profit visual arts center founded in 1962 to exhibit the work of emerging and established regional artists from the mid-Atlantic region. There will be two concurrent exhibitions opening on the September 16: Realism Now: Cityscapes and Natural Inheritance – Sea Scans, Bee Helmets and Anchors, Works by Joanna Axtmann.
