If we peeled back a layer of a Tucson Dressage Club member, what would we find?
A TDC member was the featured artist at the University of Arizona Museum of Art faculty exhibition from October 5th-November 4th. Sheila Pitt is an art professor who serves as the head of the School of Art's Printmaking program. Sheila, who holds degrees in both printmaking and biology, combined both in her exhibit entitled, "Can Science explain the female? An Artist's Expose."

Sheila Pitt's twenty large woodcut prints graft scientific illustrations of the female body to historical images of women. In dissecting art historically significant images of female beauty, such as Picasso's "Two Nudes," Botticelli's "Birth of Venus," and Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," Sheila reveals their most intimate and private places--the inside of their bodies. Sheila's work overlays known imagery, art historical acumen, and humor in her expose of what makes a female a female.
What other lives do our TDC members have that we do not know??
