Five senior studio art majors at Sweet Briar College—Giselle Vega, Kalin Ross, Laci Walker, Sydney Harris, and Trista Cleaves—presented their work in the Senior Art Exhibition titled “Inner Landscapes: An Artistic Exploration of Our Human Experience.” The show opened on April 4, 2025, at the Benedict Gallery, featuring a range of mediums including painting, sculpture, and photography. Each artist explored themes of identity, transformation, and self-expression, with common threads of inner perception and outer reality linking the diverse pieces.
This exhibition marks the culmination of the students' undergraduate studio art training and provides practical experience in curating, hanging, and presenting artwork. It highlights the role of Sweet Briar's studio art program and the Kelley & C.T. Fitzpatrick Center for Creativity, Design, and the Arts in fostering emerging artists. The show also underscores the importance of community support for the arts, as the college encourages alumnae and friends to attend campus events and contribute to the Friends of Art.
