Senior Show

I had the opportunity to tour the gallery with the art students who put together Rocky's fall 2009 senior art show, and was very pleased. The show included some very well done, thoughtful work. My favorite section of the show was Denise's installation. The work she had shown was not my favorite until she explained it. She suffers from some sort of arthritic disease, that makes life painful on the best of her days. She did some math and found she needs to 99 pills per month, just to make it through the day. She fears that if she her disease doesn't cripple her, the drugs will. Denise's installation really sets the mood of the struggle she faces on a daily basis.

Another notable artist from the show was Krista. I had been in a couple art classes with her and throughout the classes she has demonstrated how passionate she is about her work. Her senior show did not let me down. Her work reflected her love for what she is doing as an artist, and her love for for flamenco dancing. She is truly a gifted artist!
