Her exhibit focuses on reflections of nature while isolating fluidity within organic forms. Blasy, of Rapid City, S.D., will receive a B.F.A. in Painting next month. His work balances on the line between graffiti painting, street art and highbrow art. Harvey, from Maplewood, Minn., is also graduating with a B.F.A. in Painting. Her work reflects the local socioeconomic sphere where she lives and uses found objects as well as traditional painting methods. Reinders, from Ireton, Iowa, will graduate with a B.F.A. in Photography and enjoys mixing both dark room processes and digital media. Law McMahan, of Sioux Falls, S.D., will graduate with a B.F.A. in ceramics in May.
