In the News Three Rivers art students showcased at Norwich Arts Center
Norwich (January 6, 2022) — Norwich Arts Center’s Gallery One exhibit in January is dedicated to five star art students at Three Rivers Community College.
“The artists were chosen because they have been doing outstanding work,” said Sandra Jeknavorian, visual fine arts coordinator and art professor at Three Rivers. “Their work represents the kind of assignments we do at the college. Some are beginners, some at the end of their degree program, and one who is an ‘lifelong learner’ senior citizen who is taking the classes for personal enrichment. The exhibit is a great reflection of the diversity of students studying at Three Rivers.”
The five students — Marc Bryan, Robert Lattanzio, Kelsey Ng, Bellana Parungao and Aurora Vennari — will be hanging over 30 works in NAC’s Gallery One, which offers a new exhibit each month. Their artwork includes landscapes, portraits, illustrations and abstracts.
Jeknavorian said she hopes the exhibit helps raise awareness of the arts program at Three Rivers. Students of any skill level, from beginner to accomplished, are welcome to enroll. Many of the classes are conducted online, some at the college. Courses are available individually or as part of an associate’s degree program. The program offers free tuition for individuals who do not have a college degree or are 62 years old or older. More information is available at threerivers.edu.
“There is a misconception that you have to be born with natural talent, which isn’t true,” Jeknavorian said. “All it takes is an interest, a desire to do it, a little encouragement, and learning the fundamentals from an instructor.”
The student exhibit will be officially opened at a reception on Friday, Jan. 7 during Norwich’s downtown First Friday events, 6 to 8 p.m., though the exhibit is available starting the day before, Jan. 6. Most or all of the artists will be present to talk about their work.

Hoda Awad
Some call it a mid-life crisis; I call it mid-life awareness. At some point in my life, I felt the need to reconsider what to do with the rest of my life. I wanted a career that lasts and is enjoyable. Going back to school to learn the fundamentals of painting and drawing gave me the courage to share my work with others. I am grateful for everyone who helped me build my self confidence: my daughter for telling me its better late than never, my professors’ knowledge and patience, and for my fellow classmates’ positive feedback and helpful discussion.

Amanda Swan ’20
Artist’s Statement
Painting has always been a way for me to bring my dreams and nightmares into the physical world. I revel in my ability to paint these lush and vivid scenes that seem to haunt me. Putting paint to canvas allows me to put some order to the chaos that often reigns in my thoughts.
Painting also allows me to explore the duality of life and death, which is a subject of many of my pieces, most notably my acrylic painting, Midnight. With this piece I sought to portray a stag at the moment of death and showcase the tension and realization of the experience as the last vestiges of lucidity slip away. My inspiration for this scene came from studies I had read about how the brain can remain active for several minutes after clinical death, and I wanted to explore the processes taking place within the mind during this phenomenon. I chose a deer as my subject for its perceived subjective air of innocence and to highlight the inevitability of fatality.
Through my art, I can conquer my worst fears and share my most vivid fantasies. I find the process of creating art incredibly therapeutic. Painting gives me a sense of peace and accomplishment that is vital to my life. It also allows me the opportunity to experiment with different styles, mediums, and ideas. From the ethereal to the surreal, within my art you can get a glimpse inside my mind. I hope you enjoy the view.
