Lee Library exhibit features work by recent BYU graduate

“Proclaim,” a new exhibit by recent Brigham Young University fine arts graduate Rachel Mary Smith, will be on display in the level one auditorium gallery of the Harold B. Lee Library through Nov. 7.

Smith’s exhibit displays her belief that the human family is interconnected.

“As members of this family, we have a Father who knows each of us personally, and no matter how our beliefs concerning God may differ, we each have an eternal role and destiny,” she said. “Each of us has the responsibility to determine our own individual purpose and how we can best fulfill that purpose and influence mankind.”

More information on the artist and her work is available at rachelmarysmith.com.

For additional information, contact Smith at (801) 358-1213 or communications librarian Julie Williamsen at (801) 422-6763, julie_williamsen@byu.edu.
