Exchange Portfolio
Wonder Women
On Display on the Knoxville Convention Center Park Concourse
Organized by Amanda Knowles and Lenore Thomas
Wonder Women is a portfolio organized to celebrate and honor Frances Myers as an educator and mentor. This is the second all female portfolio Amanda Knowles and Lenore Thomas have organized. For this second incarnation we have included only women who attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a graduate student under Frances. While we cannot possibly include all the women Frances has influenced over the years, we have chosen a group that extends over the breadth of time Frances taught. She has inspired so many students to be makers over her tenure as a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This portfolio was originally organized upon the occasion of Frances' retirement, and was exhibited at the 2013 Southern Graphics Council International Conference, and is now being shown in memorial to this extraordinary artist and educator.
