McHenry County College Students Display Their Works

    Andy Lechner, of McHenry, created a ceramics piece called “Desert Flight,” which won Best of Show at the Illinois Community College Juried Art Exhibition held recently at Governors State University. This Juried Exhibition was separate from the competition where nine other MCC students won honors.
    These students' artwork were selected for the Skyway Juried Art Competition, hosted recently at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines.
    The art students whose art was displayed in the Skyway Art Competition were: Belen Ashley of Fox River Grove, ceramics; Leanna Borden of McHenry, ceramics; Andrew Bourn of Wonder Lake, painting; Reidin Dintzner of Woodstock, jewelry; Kristina French of Algonquin, painting; John Gilmore, Jr., Crystal Lake, ceramics; Mary Mariutto of Crystal Lake, painting; Kendra Trauth of Crystal Lake, ceramics; and Andrew Vadnais of Cary, jewelry.
    Artist Kathleen Scarboro juried the show that featured 250 works of art from 18 community colleges throughout Illinois. She has created public work in Joliet and the surrounding region, as well as in Paris, France, where she lives.
