Art Students Exhibit Mixed Media Work at William Paterson University

Twelve William Paterson University graduate and undergraduate students who are pursuing master’s and bachelor’s degree in fine art will present new works in the Power Art Gallery on campus from August 18 through September 15, 2003.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held on Wednesday, September 10 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The exhibit, titled "On and Off the Wall," reflects a wide range of techniques, materials and approaches to mixed media artwork. All of the artists are currently studying with Alan Lazarus, a William Paterson University professor of art, who has asked them to create works that combine two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements. Each artist will present a pair of artworks – one to be mounted on the wall, the other to be situated nearby on the gallery floor – that include related elements.

Artists participating in the show, who are all from New Jersey, include: Renee Elizabeth Battle of Newark, Tara Bauer of Wantage, Pamela Drezga of Bridgewater, Karen Johnson of Newton, Barry Karsh of East Brunswick, Lauren Marciniak of Glen Rock, Tenley Marshall of Delaware, William Prior of Wayne, Izabella Rodzen of Lincoln Park, Gina Sabatino of Belleville, Nadia Tedesco of Totowa, and Thomas Van Stone of Blairstown.
