Lisa Learner, assistant professor of fine arts, has had two of her paintings selected to be in the "Art of the State: Pennsylvania '99'' show opening in June. The exhibit, which runs from June 20 to Sept. 12, will be held at the State Museum in Harrisburg.

Learner submitted two of her paintings, ''Ticket Please" and "River Walk". Both were selected. The jurors will be the editor of Art in America magazine and the curator of the CorcoranMuseum of Art in

Washington D.C. If selected as winners, ber paintings will be bought by the museum for their purchase price and hung in the State Museum permanently.

Learner said that she has never been in a show of this magnitude before. She is hopeful that her paintings will be selected.
