Joan Stolz, artist and professor of art at Parkland College, has an exhibition up at the Champaign County History Museum this month. Skin in the Game is a collection of portraits of politicians, closely cropped and painted hyper realistically. Stolz’s skills as a painter are top notch, but her curation of these politicians’ facial expressions is really what makes this body of work incredible. 

The opening reception is Thursday, February 9th at 5 p.m.
