Melanie Lucero, who is graduating with an emphasis in graphic design, will show work that ranges from postcards and brochures to logos and posters. Melanie explains her passion for graphic design : “I think graphic design is something you see everyday, yet people take it for granted. I’m glad I have the opportunity to show my work in Eastern’s gallery. I think it shows people that graphic design is an art form and should be viewed as such.”
Melanie’s show will be available for viewing May 5–9.
Victoria Montoya from Cimarron, N .M., speaks of her art work : “ Art allows me to step into my mind, pull out an idea, and watch it come to life.”
Victoria’s pieces are mostly paintings featuring themes of “macabre and bizarre with a touch of personal emotion.” Victoria hopes to "continue making art that will peel the layers back and find the vulnerable truth for myself and others.”
Victoria’s show will be available for viewing May 5–9.
Admission is free and open to the public.
