Artists Reiter and Day exhibit work at Campbell University

     Works by graphic design students Quincy Leigh Potasnik-Reiter and Shaheen A. Day are featured in the Senior Exhibit at Campbell University. The exhibit, which runs through Dec. 9, is on display in the E.P. Sauls Gallery of the Rogers Fine Arts Center. Admission is free and open to the public.
     A variety of media are represented in the works by each student, including, acrylic, oil on canvas, pen and ink, mixed media, pencil, sculpture and ceramics.

     Shaheen Day, of Smithfield, N.C., is in the process of building her own design company.
     “I’ve always treasured the expression of art as the result of a cultivated interest deriving from my Native American background and from my father, who is an artist himself,” Day said.
     Day’s work reflects both classic and modern styles, from a painting of a bridge over a stream in the style of Monet, to her contemporary impression of a guitar.
     A native of Clay County West Virginia, Quincy Leigh Potasnik-Reiter’s work is reminiscent of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s. Her painting, “A Study in Luscious” is a hyper-realistic portrait of a woman’s lips in the manner of Andy Warhol.
     “Art has saved me from having to live in a box,” Reiter writes in her program biography. “I am no longer cramped up in society where I am expected to fit in.”
     The E.P. Sauls Gallery is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
