WSHS Art Student of the Month--April 2013



Rachel Auna is the West Salem High School Art Department Student of the Month for April.  While Rachel creates art in the 'traditional' sense (drawing, painting, and ceramics), the true beauty of her work is manifested  when she combines her love for visual art and textiles.  This work often blurs the line between art and craft, in a witty, tongue-in-cheek manner.  Some of her art is meant to be worn, while other pieces are created from using sewing materials and techniques in a way that is meant to be viewed rather than tried on. 


Rachel's work will be on display at the Marie W. Heider Center for the Arts Gallery in West Salem.  Her work is alongside Mary Thompson, Kathy Fitchuk, and Sherri Diamon.  A reception for this work will be on Thursday, April 18th from 6-7:30pm.  The public is welcome.


Congratulations Rachel!
