Alumni Spotlight: Mary Jo Fitz This exhibit will feature the artwork of Mary Jo Fitz. We live in a loud world, loud and fast, where feelings, thoughts, and ideas are scattered, swept away, lost. If art is expression, communication, and connection, it is the artist who stands in the mist listening for whispers among the echoes, whether they bubble from personal depths, murmur through cultural waves, or rise from nature's heart. Through her work, Mary Jo Fitz hopes to amplify the whispers, coaxing reflection, and conversation. |

"Amber Waves of Grain" by Robert Ludwig Agriculture is the dominant land use in Cecil County, Maryland. The color and black and white photographs in this show illustrate wheat during stages of growth and decline and tobacco during harvest. The photographs in this show offer intricate images of these crops—highlighting dramatic color contrasts and subtle textural variations—in a way that cannot be appreciated from a passenger vehicle driving on country roads. |

Boulenc Portraits - Robert Ludwig In conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month, this portrait show is of bakers, cooks, wait staff, and dishwashers that work at Boulenc, a popular bakery/restaurant in Oaxaca, Mexico. The exhibit aims to shine a spotlight on the workers with a series of black and white photographs that include several headshots of the staff, as well as others that capture them while busy with early morning food preparation. Shot over several years, the photographer developed an easy, natural intimacy with these workers, hopefully captured in the photos and felt by the viewer. This exhibit is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council. |

Jen Hudson Paper Art Jennifer Hudson is a Maryland based cut paper artist and painter. She began her career as a painter with an emphasis on realistic nature scenes and fantasy-based illustrations. She graduated from the Baltimore School for the Arts in 2014 with a concentration in painting. After graduating, Hudson became intrigued by the world of contemporary paper art. She uses various sized knives to hand-cut delicate works that display movement, texture, and dimension. She combines several layers of cut paper to attain highly detailed three-dimensional works. Hudson’s love of the natural world is evident in the use of ora and animals in her work. She specializes in wildlife art. Continuing motifs include foxes, birds, horses, and delicate lace-like structures. |
