Into the Wilderness - Abigail Platter
Currently on view at SPAC Gallery in the SPU Art Center is an exhibition of illustration and painting from our own Adjunct Professor Abigail Platter who graduated with her MFA from the University of Hartford in July 2025. Her thesis exhibition, Into the Wilderness, is an exploration in conceptual narrative imagery.
The wilderness is full of dangers and surprises, which, of course, are what make amazing stories. Platter states that her thesis project Into the Wilderness is an exploration of narrative creation as an illustrator. This body of work is a “variety show” of concepts and narratives gathered during the last two years of Platter’s creative exploration. Each painting in this thesis is an idea that could be expanded into an illustrated story, show, or intellectual property. You will find meanderings on womanhood, environmental issues, biblical metaphors, and much more.
The work will be on display through November 21, 2025. We hope you will drop by to see her work during our weekly hours.
