CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The incredible talent of three young artists are on display at the Art Center of Corpus Christi. A reception was held to showcase all the hard work the artists endured over the last year creating the pieces.
All of the artists are graduating seniors from Texas A&M Corpus Christi. A couple of them focused on self portraits, while another chose animals.
Among the student-artist featured was Alejandro Ramirez. His display was titled, 'self-centered.' He credits his art teachers for helping inspire him.
"I was racking my brain, trying to come up with various personalities and the more I thought about it, the more I had to explore about myself," Ramirez said. "The later ones are really depictions of my authentic self."
Ramirez tells us he's very thankful to receive a full ride scholarship to grad school at the University of Georgia.
The other featured artist are Shally Benitez and Samantha Swenson.
The art will remain on display through June 6.
