| "If" by Robert Pokorny |
Robert Pokorny's abstract paintings captured modern day anxiety and chaos in his show entitles "Saturation." "As I watched an economic crisis, jobs diminishing, and political unrest, my feelings of an uncertain future took shape in my work," Pokorny wrote in his artist statement.
Also abstract in nature, a twisted table with chairs molding into its frame by sculptor Gary M. Spisak stood solitary in the center of the dimly lit Dutzi Gallery.

| By Erin Fagen |
Erin Fagen's metal work, on the other hand, glistened upon wooden stands. In creating her exhibit "{existere}," Fagen was greatly inspired by nature and the beauty of objects. "The objects they represent deserve preservation," she said, reviewing her art.

| Kevin O'Grady and his show "Unreliable Narrator" |
Kevin O'Grady took a unique approach in presenting his series of paintings "Unreliable Narrator" by lining the Merlino gallery's floor with unframed art. O'Grady hoped that his collective piece illustrating various faces from history would not only capture the human face as an expression of emotion, but also as an area of bodily communication.
