CAZENOVIA, NY (03/21/2011)(readMedia)-- The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall will host the 2011 Visual Communications Senior Exhibition, titled, "FINAL PROOF: Designed, Sealed & Delivered." The show runs from Friday, April 1 through Monday, April 18, with an artist's reception scheduled for Thursday, April 14, from 4 to 6 p.m.

Amanda J. Taranto is a senior from Hamilton, N.Y., and a graduate of Hamilton Central Schools. Taranto writes of her work, "I love what I do. I am inspired by things disregarded and cast away, and find beauty in unique and everyday objects. My inspiration, my focused determination, and my passion for all things visual, embody who I am. My creativity, versatility, and flexibility provide a foundation for my work. I strive for clean, organized design that pays acute attention to detail. I thrive on satisfaction and perfection. I am still growing as a designer, and as a person; I wouldn't have it any other way. I love what I do."

Laurie Selleck, associate professor of visual communications, says, "More than 20 students will exhibit work they feel represents themselves as visual communicators. The show will be an excellent sampling of what the Visual Communications Program at Cazenovia College has to offer in the way of educating students for their future careers in graphic design, web/interactive design, advertising design, and illustration/animation."

The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall is located on the corner of Sullivan and Seminary streets, one block from Albany Street (Route 20). Exhibitions and receptions at the gallery are free and open to the public. The building is handicap accessible.
