"I collect the everyday discards of contemporary life. These materials are versatile enough to utilize in a multitude of forms intrinsic to my central interests—fibers, textiles, their design, the role of textiles in culture and the art canon and environmental concerns. I situate my work in the colors, patterns and geometries of domesticity and a throwaway culture."
– Antonia Perez
The beautiful 140-wooded acre of campus has long been a destination and seemingly blank canvas for visual artists to create and show their work.

In 2018, the Art Department welcomed upcycling artist Antonia Perez.
Antonia’s art was featured in July 2018 in a solo exhibition in the Usdan Art Gallery and throughout campus. She also worked with Usdan students to create a collaborative weaving consisting of recycled plastic bags.
