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.

Meghan R. VanDeventer is a senior from Waterloo, N.Y., and a graduate of Waterloo Senior High School. VanDeventer writes of her work, "Life is a novel, with the end ripped out.... a fork in the road, with only one way out. The solution isn't easily recognized or even understood at a close angle, but at a distance it becomes focused and clear. Using my experiences as tools and not just a path to where I'm going is an essential skill.

"I am a designer, an artist, a writer, and a communicator. Designing through imagination with creativity and energy is my passion. The concrete yet consistent nature of my pieces establishes a voice, emotional and personal to each client. I create a message both moving and informative as I seize each opportunity to learn from my accidents and recover with grace to influence the finished design. My dreams are my inspiration; I see the world in hues and aesthetic properties instead of reality, I discover solutions with imagery and pattern – ah, the life of a designer ... My novel doesn't have an ending; instead, there are infinite tattered pages to fill with moments of the journey... going forward, we each might someday realize that the journey is indeed the destination."

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."
