Pictured (left to right): Associate Academic Dean Dr. Kathryn Shields — also Co-Chair of the Art Department and Associate Provost of Guilford College; Senior Art Major Farrah Wilde; Senior Art and English Major Clara Fuehler; and Dr. Rachel Fesperman, Part-time Lecturer in Art. Farrah and Clara both had pieces featured in the exhibit. The Madonna with children and pomegranate painting is by Farrah.
Last week, we were headed to campus for a meeting with Meredith Summers, EDJ, Chief of Staff at Guilford College. During our visit, we asked where we could find Farrah’s artwork. Meredith contacted Dr. Kathryn Shields, and within an hour, Dr. Shields not only let us know where the exhibit was located but also arranged for Farrah to be available to speak with us. We also had the opportunity t meet Clara and Dr. Fesperman.
We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the exhibit and having the opportunity to engage with both students and faculty.
We cannot emphasize enough how this experience reflects the collaborative, student-first culture at Guilford College. It is truly a local treasure. Let's hope it remains the dynamic and vibrant resource it has been for over 200 years—and for generations to come. We will remember this meeting and Farrah and Clara's artwork for a very long time.
Happy Tuesday!
