Artist Karen Graffeo has shared “Hearts in Repair,” a multi-gallery show held between neighboring spaces ACE/FRANCISCO Gallery and OX Fine Art, with various mixed-media art pieces and photographs on display, since May. Graffeo is a professor emeritus of art and has directed the photography program at the University of Montevallo, and has also received a Tanne Foundation award for her documentary photographs focusing on humanitarian issues specifically in Roma and at refugee encampments across Europe. Her work in this area also led to being named University Scholar at the University of Montevallo. Aperture magazine has published many of her images, and her work can be found in public and private collections both in the U.S. and several countries in Asia and Europe. In addition to her work currently displayed in the ACE/FRANCISCO and OX Fine Art galleries, she also displays her work in Havana, Cuba in the Museum of African History. Graffeo will be closing out her exhibition with a gallery talk to discuss her pieces and inspiration.
