Wartburg students to be featured in annual senior art exhibit

Wartburg College’s annual Senior Exhibit will showcase works from six students beginning Thursday, April 9, in the Waldemar A. Schmidt Gallery in Bachman Fine Arts Center.

An opening-night reception begins at 7 p.m. The exhibit, open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through May 24, is free and open to the public.

“When I was younger, my two favorite pastimes were reading and art. Now, I am able to take my passion for both and create something I am truly proud of,” said Michelle Croell, a senior from New Hampton. 

Other featured artists include:

Dakota Boesch, Metairie, Louisiana

Jacoby Firkins, Iowa City

Lauren Matysik, Clive

Haihang Shi, China

Zukhro Sokhibova, Tajikistan

“My photography focuses on gender roles and sexuality by taking iconic pin-up photographs with a twist,” Matysik said. “By using men as models as opposed to women, I hope that viewers will take a moment to have a laugh, then realize the sexual and social implications of these images.”
