Description: A painting by the artist Alyce Van Acker, OP. An artist statement reads: "“Cademy Curve” is a painting from my maps services. Maps have always held a fascination for me.

After HS she joined the Dominican sisters in Adrian MI and studies education, math and science. It was not until after two degrees were completed. That she finally had time to delve into art. Then, while taking art Classes at Northern Illinois University, she received an additional masters degree in painting, Van Acker switched from using oils to working with acrylics which she has continued to use since the late 1970’s.
