September's Exhibit
Jenny Marcano
Stop by the library during September to view artwork by Southbridge resident Jenny Marcano!
A little about Jenny and her artwork:
"My
earliest memory of drawing was that of a unicorn that I'd scribbled on
a piece of computer paper. I gingerly dragged a line of glue
along the pencil outline of the creature and then sprinkled golden
glitter over the entire paper, to be sure that lots of it
stuck to the glue lines. I let it all dry and waited with my
mother and baby brother for my father to come back from work.
When he did I gave him the piece of art with childish enthusiasm, to
this day he still has that unicorn in his office cubical.
My name is Jenny Marcano, I’m seventeen years old, of
Puerto Rican decent, and was born and raised in this town of Southbridge. I
have been taking private art classes taught by the inspirational Kathleen
Coggins at her home business of Wild Vine Studios for the past nine years. From
then on my passion was in creation, and with the support of my parents,
mentors, and friends I’ve been able to grow and shape myself as an artist.
This year I
will be becoming a senior at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School
and will be graduating from the Graphics Communications program that they
provide. Though graphic design isn’t the road I wish to travel I am very glad I
have been able to gain experience with the wondrous technology that has been
invented for art and design.
This will be a
huge year for me as I further improve my portfolio so that I can go to college
for animation. I am truly blessed for the foundation of people I have who
support my dreams and want me to become successful. I hope that you all enjoy
my art show, and that you work hard for your dreams, and support the dreams of
your loved ones."
The exhibit will be on display for the month of
September, with a reception feature live music by local band Son D'
Plena, on Thursday, September 2nd at 6:30 p.m.
