exhibit coming to the LaVcrno Krause Gallery,
is sotne of the boldest artwork in town.
Paintings, prints, ceramics, sculptures, met

She described the process as a "conversation
you curry on witii yourself."
Shifrin-Whitson wants her paintings to re
mind people that they only have one life. Her
cut-and-paste style aims to make people aware
of every moment. In her own words, "my

Kerckhoven, is
inspired in liis
painting by
personal expe
rience, travels
and the great
artists of the

the University
is the onIy
s< hool he has
visited that has
an exhibit fea
turing all of
the art disci
plines in one
show
He likes the
contact with
other depart
actions they muy provoke.
That Is not the case at this show At last
year's exhibit, one student's work showed a
cross and an upside down flag.
"That takes courage.” Murillo said. "They’re
coming up with now techniques and experi
menting with new ideas. They have a lot of
courage to go ahead and try now concepts and
techniques."
While sparking now ideas, Murillo said the
show will also be professional
"In this show we’re looking for quality," he
said. "I’m being selective. This is the biggest
quality and quantity show of tho year."
Natalie Shlfrin-Whitson. a graduate student
in painting, hopes students will discover the
groat art that is right here on campus.
"I hope viewers of tho show will reali/.o
what level of mature work Is being executed at
the University grad level,” Shifrin-Whitson
said. “You don't have to go to Portland to see
good work There is no excuse, you don't even
have to leave the building!"
Shifrin-Whitson finds inspiration for her
work in everyday life.
"1 am inspirod by visual impressions I don't
want to forget." Shifrin-Whitson said "I react
monis. ai ouier universities. no nurniy sow
what tho sculptors or photographers wore do
ing. Ho soos it us u good opportunity for stu
dents to view each other's work.
Teresa Muoller, an artist from tho sculpture
dopurtmont, hopes tho show stirs things up
"Any showing is tho pleasure of sharing
ideas and stirring up ideas.” Mueller said. She
looks forward to displaying a piece entitled
"War Song"
Tho Gallery will be tho first open space in
which Mueller has had an opportunity to dis
play her piece, other than tho ping-pong table
in tho sculpture department.
Like many of tho artist featured in the show,
Mueller's future plans arn "to find a way to
continue after school ■ how to wake up and
maku inonoy and make art (at tho same time).”
To better appreciate the talent we have in
our fine arts department, students should take
a break from classes and stop by at the Gullory
Bo gutsy It will lx; a mind-stimulating, eye
pleasing experience.
Tho LaVerno Krause Gallery is only one year
old. This is tho second year it has hosted the
annual graduate show. The Gullory is open to
tho public from 9 a m to 4:30 p in. Monday
through Thursday and from 9 a m to 3 p.m
Friday.
