Latoya Hobbs – Woodcuts, represents a chance to view her amazing work. This exhibition spanning ten years of her work brings to light the true brilliance of her understanding of the woodcut. Historically one of the most beloved mediums of the artworld, the woodcut, can evoke many ideas and emotions from the stripping away at a block of wood and the application of the inks that ultimately lead to an image. With the technical part of the woodcut mastered, it is the artist’s life influences that can give us glimpses into ideas like beauty, motherhood, and cultural identity. Hobbs work allows the viewer a glimpse of understanding the world in new and critical ways.

Printmaking of all forms is one of the Art Department’s fundamental areas of educating artists. Having exceptional exhibitions of printmaking in our galleries helps to generate meaningful discussions and lifelong learning about the art of printmaking. The University Art Gallery’s programing helps to support our faculty’s teaching. It is through faculty recommendations that many exhibitions come to our galleries. This exhibition was recommended by my colleague Martin Azevedo and I am very happy to be able to exhibit Latoya’s work for others to enjoy.

I would like to thank the many colleagues that have been instrumental in presenting this exhibition. Latoya Hobbs for the chance of exhibiting her amazing work, Martin Azevedo for recommending Latoya’s exhibition, Brad Peatross of the School of the Arts, California State University, Stanislaus for the catalog design and Parks Printing for the printing this catalog.

I would also like to extend many thanks to the Instructionally Related Activates Program of California State University, Stanislaus, as well as anonymous donors for the funding of the exhibition and catalogue. Their support is greatly appreciated.

Dean De Cocker, Director University Art Gallery California
