Alumni News | Sacred Heart University’s Discovery Science Center Presents Abstractions: Anne Marchand

Sacred Heart University’s Discovery Science Center presents Abstractions: Anne Marchand. On display November 15, 2021 to May 15, 2022.

Inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope photographs, Anne Marchand’s work is an exploration of the surprisingly colorful and frequently fluid-like state of the universe. Her mixed media pieces combine texture, color, and negative space to convey the dichotomy between the chaos of entropy and cohesion of nature.

Discovery Science Center’s mission is to engage, excite, and educate young learners through experiences and programs that inspire wonder and ignite creativity as the foundation for a lifetime love of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) learning.

A reception will be held, with the artist present, on March 5 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at

Discovery Science Center, Steam Gallery
