Central Oregon Community College is hosting two distinct art exhibitions across its campuses this spring. The Barber Library Rotunda Gallery in Bend will feature "Satsumas on the Moon," a series of abstract paintings by local artist and OSU-Cascades instructor Andrew C.M. Lorish, while the Redmond campus is showcasing a 32-piece collection of digital and ink works by student Wick L. Dundon.
These exhibitions highlight the intersection of academic instruction and local creative practice within the regional art scene. By providing platforms for both an established educator like Lorish and an emerging student artist like Dundon, the college fosters a community dialogue between formal abstract exploration and contemporary illustrative influences such as manga and fantasy literature.
