Assumption Capstone Artists-Rising above Restrictions
From Prof. Carrie Nixon Assumption College Senior Art Seminar Instructor cnixon@assumption.edu Introduction This Blog is dedicated to the 6 resourceful and tenacious women in Worcester’s Assumption College Senior Art Seminar : Eliana Agudelo; Sydney LaQue; Dana Mendes; Nancy Nguyen; Bryanna Peters; and Audrey Tokarz. They have continued to create high-impact, personal bodies of artwork despite the isolation and limitations caused by the Coronavirus. The virus, as we know, was lurking first overseas and then in our midst. Nonetheless, these brave and dedicated women kept pursuing their visions and making art, even as the College was closed in mid-March. Now they are dispersed to their families in 4 states: Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, and Georgia. These Senior* artists (*Audrey Tokarz is a Junior whereas the other 5 are second-semester Seniors) end their final Assumption College semester only to be launched into the uncertain world of the pandemic
