Bradley Gallery exhibit spotlights Lakeland senior

Lakeland College will spotlight the work of a senior art student when the Lakeland Senior Art Student Portfolio Exhibition opens on Thursday, Jan. 22.

Satomi Fukuhara will discuss her work during an opening reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Bradley Gallery, located in the Bradley Fine Arts Building on Lakeland's Sheboygan County campus.

The exhibit, which will feature works created by Fukuhara during her time at Lakeland, will run through Feb. 19.

The Bradley Gallery is open from 1-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Attendance at the reception and admittance to the Bradley Gallery are both free and open to the public.

The senior art show is a requirement for all Lakeland art majors. Students gain the experience of having their own exhibit, and are responsible for planning the show, putting the public relations together, hanging their work and any other details.

Fukuhara is majoring in art with a graphic arts emphasis. She earned an associate's degree at Lakeland College's campus in Tokyo, Japan, before transferring to the main campus in Sheboygan County.

She earned on honorable mention award in the Annual Student Exhibition at Lakeland in 2008, is a Faculty Scholarship recipient and has been named to the Dean's List. She has served as a volunteer at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, and is a member of Lakeland's Conversation Partners program.

Fukuhara said her parents both loved art, and she had an opportunity to travel throughout Europe and see the work of various artists beginning at a young age. Fukuhara has worked with computer software during her time at Lakeland, but is still drawn to simple mediums like charcoal and graphite pencil.

"I was seduced by its simplicity, but also found how deep it could be if I spent a lot of time on my artwork," Fukuhara said. "By copying several master copies of great artists of genius like Da Vinci, I was almost blown away by those masteries drawn by charcoal. It is like a magic since such simple medium can create profound works."
