This solo exhibition, "Works on Paper," will feature McArthur's two-dimensional style, as he works mainly with paper, watercolor and assorted drawing materials. His current bodies of work explore the expressive possibilities of figuration in drawing and painting.

McArthur has taught at WIU for 21 years in the department of art and design. His work has been shown internationally, receiving several awards. He also makes single-panel cartoons for clients, including the Wall Street Journal and the Harvest Business Review.
