Art exhibit on display at Crisp Museum

"Interwoven: The Lives and Roles of Women" by Jean Rissover, is on display 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday through Sept. 19 in the Crisp Museum at Southeast Missouri State University's River Campus.

Rissover's art is mostly narrative and her focus is mainly women. There are no models or photos. Rather, her paintings have their roots in people she's known or seen somewhere and in their stories of people she has encountered. The characters who populate the paintings are never representations of specific individuals or situations. The characters she paints live in her head, and act out their lives there.

Face coverings and social distancing are encouraged.
