The exhibit was juried by SUSC faculty members Richard Adams, Arlene Braithwaite, Carmen Jones and Nina Marshall. This years annual competition generated more interest than usual and a greater number of entries of more variety were reviewed. The exhibition will include drawing, paintings, original prints, designs, textiles, ceramics and sculpture. Many of the entries will be available for purchase at moderate cost. Featured concurrently with the student exhibit is a senior portfolio by Geri A. Willging. Willging, who regards her work as a visual preservation of the world around her, will display over a dozen pieces of her work. The majority of Willgings work are potraits or figure drawings done in oils, watercolors and pastels. A few landscapes will be included, one a silkscreen. Willging prefers working in oils but is making new discoveries in pastels. In expressing myself through my art, whether it be landscape, portrait or still life, I go by my intuitive feelings, she said. My endeavor is to create a work of art utilizing creativity, originality and uniqueness. The exhibits continue through May 5 and light refreshments will be served at the opening reception on May 3 from 7 to 9 p.m. The gallerys hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 7 to 9 p.m. weekdays and to 6 p.m. on weekends.
