Serenity is a Place of Only a Dystopian Mind is comprised of artwork created by 2-D Design students: Elena Brisch, Blake Clarkson, Amelia House, and Madison Marburger. Under the direction of Art Instructor Nicole Davis, the students explored 2-D design concepts and applied their newfound knowledge to the creation of original artworks.
 
EICC Art Instructor Nicole Davis commented, “I am proud of the 2-D Design students and their accomplishments. Throughout the semester they were curious and experimental in their approach to artmaking. They really pushed themselves to create their best work and have put together a beautiful exhibit.”  The student pieces are very unique, using a variety of techniques.  CCC President Dr. Brian Kelly shared, “This amazing exhibit illustrates the creativity and mastery our students possess. I am excited to have their work on display in our gallery and share their talent with our community.”
