Caption: Internationally recognized ceramicist Marie Bartels
recently completed a stint as Citrus College's third annual
Artist-in-Residence. Bartels taught summer classes at the Glendora,
Calif. school, exhibited his work at its Hayden Memorial Library art
gallery and worked with students to design and install two permanent
ceramic murals. In keeping with the college name and the
community's agricultural heritage, the seven-feat-tall
installations feature oranges on one panel and grapefruits on the other.
"There is a great feeling here at Citrus College; a sense of pride
seems to radiate from students who attend this school. It really is a
wonderful environment," Bartels said.
