Cori Beardsley (Sculpture, Class of 2011):
“Dance, hysteria, play and the love of form inspire my recent sculpture. I strive to express wild release and the polarities of joy and pain that are at that raw edge of emotion.”
Ramona Bradley (Painting, Class of 2012):
“I paint what I want to paint. I don’t usually understand it. It’s more of a visceral feeling that drives me, you know from the gut, and sometimes it gets a little slimy.”
Nadene Grey Speer (Painting, Class of 2012):
“As an artist my rustic upbringing comes through in my disposition towards raw canvas, stretched gut, embroidery, landscapes, suspicion of the slick, faith in natural beauty, desire for a diverse audience, and a need to show and see the artist’s hand.”
