CAZENOVIA, NY (04/07/2011)(readMedia)-- The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall will host exhibitions of work by seniors in its Art and Design classes.

Gwendolyn B. Nestle is a senior from Hartford, N.Y., who is majoring in studio art. For her exhibition, she chose work that represents her artistic style. The show runs from April 26 - May 2, with an artists' reception, April 26 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall, 6 Sullivan St., is on the corner of Sullivan and Seminary streets in Cazenovia. Hours during the academic year are: Monday through Thursday, 1-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; Friday, 1-4 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 2-6 p.m. Summer hours vary.

Nestle says, "My work is a reflection of the way I view the objects in my surroundings. Every work becomes an artifact of the process by which it was made, and evidence of the way the medium influences me. In each piece, I must balance how I let the material guide my aesthetic choices with the way I manipulate the material to achieve my aesthetic goals. Mark-making is important in each piece because it provides some insight into this process. In my painting, each brush mark is visible and separate from the next. The result is a composition of brushstrokes that, while arranged in a representational way, maintains evidence of my hand and the process by which it was made."
