Artwork by faculty in Northwestern College’s department of art and design is on display in the Te Paske Gallery through Feb. 27.
The three-person exhibit features photographic transfers on paper by Phil Scorza, chalk pastel drawings and acrylic paintings by Meghan Charbonneau, and ceramic sculptures by Amy Williams. It marks the first time each artist has shown this collection of their creative work in a gallery setting—and the first time they have exhibited artwork together.
Scorza serves as a professor of art and design and department chair at NWC, where he teaches graphic design and photography. He has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Iowa State University and Master of Fine Arts from Lesley University College of Art and Design. Prior to joining Northwestern’s faculty, he worked as a graphic designer and creative director for more than 20 years, both in the corporate world and as a freelancer.
Charbonneau, an assistant professor of art at NWC, holds a bachelor’s degree in studio art from Iowa State University and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting and drawing from Washington State University. Her art has received numerous awards at juried shows in states that include Washington, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Ohio.
Williams is an adjunct instructor of art who teaches sculpture and ceramics at Northwestern. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in ceramics from California State University, Long Beach, and previously taught at George Fox University in Oregon.
