VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – On Monday, February 18, artist Sharon Linnehan will be presenting a gallery talk about her works which are now on  display at the Mercy Art Gallery. The talk will begin at 7 pm with light snacks to follow.

Prior to moving to South Carolina she taught at Dickinson State University and was the director of the Dickinson University’s Art Gallery.  She holds a Masters in Fine Art in Printmaking from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and a Masters in Art Education from Michigan State University, East Lansing, and a Bachelors in Fine Art from St. Mary’s College, Notre Dame, Indiana.
