Pictured left to right: Karise Baron and Deja Huggins

Artists Karise Baron and Deja Huggins are featured in the current exhibition “Angelic Ingenuity” in the Seby Jones Gallery. Both artists are proud alumna of Saint Augustine’s University’s Visual Art Program. Karise, a 2020 graduate, and Deja, a 2021 graduate, completed their studies during the COVID-19 pandemic, so their Senior Exhibitions were virtual. When asked how it felt to exhibit in the gallery finally, Karise responded, “I think the delay was meant to be. I was sad when I could not bring family and friends together for a Senior Exhibition. However, I’ve developed more confidence as an artist over the past three years. I’m glad to have this opportunity to share my creativity with SAU.” Deja Huggins laughed as she explained, “There is a world of difference between creating virtual and gallery exhibitions. Installing an exhibition is nerve-racking but also very exciting and so, so worth it.” We welcome these two artistic talents back to the Saint Augustine’s University campus. The SAU Art Department will exhibit this art show from Wednesday, March 1, through Saturday, March 25, 2023.
