Describing the process of putting together the show, Centre Art Program Chair Judith Pointer explains, "Throughout the year the seniors met as a group to discuss their artworks and to motivate each other into taking risks and developing." She continues, "It has been fun working with them, and their energy has been infectious in the studios."

The artists have crafted works in many different media including porcelain, paint, pastel, blown glass and charcoal. Pointer states, "We have a tremendously active group of ten senior art majors this year. Their subject matter ranges from intense self-portraits to graceful, organic sculptural works."
