McDonald Bane

(from the Weatherspoon) Lucy Bane-known as “Mackey” to her friends-had an early interest in art, but Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute (now Virginia Tech) did not offer any classes in the discipline, so she majored in science. Some years later she began studying art again, this time at Woman’s College (now UNCG). Her most influential instructor was Gregory Ivy, founder of UNCG’s art department as well as this museum. Progressive and somewhat controversial, he was known for urging his female students to seek and value freedom of expression. Ivy was Bane’s mentor throughout her student years and beyond.

Ivy (below) was painted in honor of this notable teacher and illustrates Bane’s decidedly abstract style.
