Randolph Community College Artists'
Works Featured In Raleigh Exhibition

ASHEBORO, N.C.--Three works by Randolph Community College artists have been chosen for the 2003 President's Art Exhibition by the North Carolina Community College System office. The exhibit, which has been held annually since 1998, features artwork from community colleges throughout the state. The art will remain on display throughout 2003.

Chosen were a brilliant color image of a Bird of Paradise plant photographed by Greg Stewart, Photographic Technology instructor; an interesting study of hands photographed by Drew Morris, Photographic Technology student; and a piece of pottery titled "Joy" created by continuing education student Amy Peraldo.

Stewart has been an instructor at RCC since 1981 and departmental chair since January 2001. He lives in Sophia. Morris has earned an associate degree in Portrait Studio Management and is working on a second degree in Commercial Photography from RCC. He is from Virgilina, Va. First-year pottery student Amy Peraldo lives in Asheboro and works at Kings Pottery in Seagrove.

The opening reception for the artists will be Thursday, March 20, from 4 - 6 p.m., at the Caswell Building in Raleigh.

In addition, two pieces of artwork displayed in the 2002 exhibition have been chosen to be displayed at the North Carolina Department of Insurance in the Dobbs Building in Raleigh during 2003. Chosen were an untitled black-and-white print of a bicycle against a backdrop of storm clouds by Morris, and a large color photo titled "Vases," by 1996 RCC Photographic Technology graduate Jeannie Horton Eames. Eames lives in Landis.
