D-E welcomed back Sophia Seriale ’22, a “D-E Lifer,” as the Swartley Gallery’s featured alumna artist, with a meet-the-artist reception held this afternoon. Her exhibit, “Until Now,” includes sketches, including a self-portrait, she created as an Upper School student and in her art classes at Marist College, where she’s currently a junior. Shortly before the reception, Swartley hosted a Middle School sketching workshop, where Sophia taught sixth graders how to draw toy ducks by using the concept of “shapes and values.” On her self-portrait, Sophia says it was meaningful because it was based on a photograph taken by a friend. “I was able to see myself through someone else’s lens,” she says. The exhibit is showing now through Thursday, so catch it before winter break!
