Pinnix, Wheeler win RCC Student Art Show
WENTWORTH – Two students received Presidential Awards for creative work submitted into the Spring Student Art Show at Rockingham Community College on April 25.
Trinity Pinnix of Eden won the award for her 3D pottery piece, “The Dance.”
Emily Wheeler of Eden won the award for her 2D oil painting, “Vadim Dolgov Artist Study.”
RCC President Dr. Mark Kinlaw chose the winning 2D and 3D pieces after viewing the show earlier in the week, and was on hand during the closing reception to recognize the two students.
“This was hard. I’m really impressed with all of the work, not just the winners. This is a really talented group this year, and I really enjoyed walking through and looking at everything,” Dr. Kinlaw said. “My congratulations to all of you, and to our instructors that instruct you through all of this – they’ve done a fabulous job,” Kinlaw said.
