Ashley Pink of Pawling Exhibits Artwork in Annual Juried Student Art Show
ONEONTA, NY (04/12/2023)– Ashley Pink of Pawling, NY, is one of 50 students with artwork displayed in SUNY Oneonta’s 2023 Juried Student Art Show. Featuring more than 80 works by talented student artists, the exhibition opened on March 28 and will run through May 13 in the university’s Martin-Mullen Art Gallery on campus.
Featured artwork was submitted by students and selected by Art Department faculty members. This year’s award winners were chosen by invited jurors President and Founder Karen Shafer and Director of Program Initiatives Dan O’Neil at Aunt Karen’s Farm. Located in Mount Vision, Aunt Karen’s Farm is a quiet residency program for artists, educators, administrators, environmentalists and agrarians to incubate new work and celebrate nature.
The show highlights the different mediums and themes explored by students over the academic year. Prints, 3D models, clay sculptures, digital designs, photographs, drawings and mixed media make up this year’s offerings.
Pink exhibited four digital illustration pieces titled “Battleground,” “Kyra – Character Design Sheet,” “Magic House” and “Royal Room.” Pink’s “Magic House” won the Excellence in New Media Award. Excellence in New Media is a new award celebrating the work of students who excel in newer and non-traditional art practices. A permanent virtual gallery space to display the digital art that is purchased through this award is being built, mirroring the beautiful examples of physical art purchased for display across campus through Jean Parish.
An opening reception March 30 celebrated student talent with an award ceremony and refreshments.
The Martin-Mullen Art Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
