Art seniors explore identity, faith and change in capstone exhibition

Four graduating seniors at Shippensburg University—Drew Weaver, Greg Schultz, Ally Richwine, and Katelyn Bard—unveiled their capstone art exhibition at the Huber Arts Center. The showcase features a diverse array of media, including surrealist paintings of liminal spaces, printmaking focused on mental health and friendship, experimental ceramics, and biblical-themed paintings exploring personal identity.

This exhibition represents the culmination of the students' academic careers, highlighting the transition from student to professional artist. By addressing complex themes such as the anxiety of graduation, the evolution of personal faith, and the unpredictability of physical media, the show demonstrates the role of regional university galleries in fostering emerging talent and providing a platform for personal and communal reflection.
