Students helping other students. Thats what a handful of art students at Western Nevada College are doing with their artwork this fall.
Fiona McDonald, Danielle Nichols, Nicole Klein, Syeda Khadija and Candy Peck have graciously allowed WNC Foundation to use their art to adorn note cards that are being sold to support students at the college.
Having my artwork selected meant a lot to me, Nichols said. Its probably one of my first pieces to be selected for something like this since high school. Being able to still make time to share my passion and being recognized for it, its very meaningful for me. It can really help me through my struggles working full time while going to school when I think about being recognized.
WNC Foundation has transformed imaging from these students paintings, drawings and pottery for note cards that are now available for purchase. The note cards are available in a 10-card pack for $10.
We are so grateful to these very talented students for their amazing contributions to this project, said WNC Foundation Executive Director Niki Gladys.
Nichols said she was challenged by drawing with white charcoal on black paper but enjoyed the process.
The idea for the piece took a little time, said Nichols, noting she purchased a candle holder to represent the star and used the top of the perfume bottle to create the eye.
I tried other objects, but I wanted to get something artsy and cool looking but also have some of my favorite things in my room in the drawing, she said.
Purchase the note cards through the Foundation Shop at wnc.edu/foundation/foundation-shop/. WNC-themed jackets, vests, beanies, T-shirts, wine glasses, coffee cups, etc. can also be purchased through the online store.
