Local Artist Suzie Kelly Featured in Summer Exhibit at Ferrum College


        

     Ferrum College will host the talent of local artist and Ferrum College designer Suzie Kelly in a summer gallery. Kelly’s works will be on display alongside sculpture by graduating senior Adam McNeil ’05. A reception will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the E. Taylor Greer Gallery at Ferrum. The exhibit will continue through the summer and end on August 20th. The exhibit is free to the public and open during Stanley Library hours. Donations of non-perishable food to benefit the St. James Community Center Food Bank are welcome.

      The exhibit at Ferrum will include Lomography prints from the special cameras utilized by Kelly. Lomography is a photographic style born of the plastic Russian LOMO cameras originally produced in the 1980’s. LOMO cameras typically use unusual or multiple lenses for an interesting pop-art effect.

      Previous exhibitions of Suzie Kelly’s work have been held in Roanoke, VA, Alfred, NY and Baltimore, MD.
