She doodled so often she didn’t even realize she’d done it: Drawn a tiny image in the margin of her English paper.<\/p>

Anna Prezioso ‘09 was a junior at the University of Mary Washington, on track to become a high school English teacher, when she turned in the assignment.<\/p>

The absent-minded doodle would change the course of her life.<\/p>

Prezioso still remembers the words of the tough-to-please UMW professor. It was an “A” paper. But Prezioso belonged in the art department.<\/p>

From that advice, Prezioso switched majors, earned a bachelor’s in studio art and became a working artist. Today, she creates large-scale installations and mixed media work inspired by her early life as a trauma survivor.<\/p>

This week, she returns to the place where it began as one of two featured artists in UMW’s alumni exhibition. Origin: Celebrating UMW Studio Art Alumni Abernathy Bland and Anna Prezioso<\/em><\/a> opens in duPont Gallery with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday.<\/p>

The Mid-Atlantic New Painting biennial exhibition<\/a> will also open at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Ridderhof Martin Gallery. Hosted by UMW Galleries, the competition features paintings by 24 artists from the mid-Atlantic that will be on display through March 18.<\/p>

Prezioso and Bland ‘05 met last week at duPont in preparation for the exhibition, which marks only the second year of a UMW alumni art show.<\/p>

The purpose is twofold, said Department of Art and Art History Chair Jon McMillan: Support UMW graduates and show today’s students what’s possible.<\/p>

“It can really promote the value of what we do here in a very impactful way,” McMillan said.<\/p>

Bland, a 2005 studio art graduate whose work includes painting, sculpture and illustration, grew up in a household in Richmond where creativity and cleverness were highly valued.<\/p>

“That translated into being an artist,” she said.<\/p>

At UMW, Bland found more than she ever dreamed of: Professors who not only helped her better her craft but taught students to think deeply and communicate.<\/p>

“We’d stay up all night making art,” Bland said. “We’d spend our three-hour studio time talking about it.”<\/p>

Today, Bland works as a teacher and art director at a collaborative theatre arts program in Richmond for students with and without disabilities. She also works as an artist mentor at a studio that supports adult artists with disabilities.<\/p>

Her own art is inspired by pain and suffering and loss, she said, which often translates into flowers and birds and animals.<\/p>

“In the world today, there’s so much darkness,” Bland said. Her goal is to find beauty in it. “My painting is a direct response to that.”<\/p>

Prezioso’s work, too, is a moving reflection of her life experience.<\/p>

“I feel like my art is still an ongoing representation of what I’ve come to find out about myself and other people,” said Prezioso, who settled in Washington, D.C. after earning a master’s from American University. “Everything in my life I wanted to make black and white, good or bad, easy or hard.”<\/p>

From that doodle in the margin of an English paper more than a decade ago, she said, “I’m living in the gray now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
