News from William Paterson University

Hi! I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Maureen O'Connor, and I joined the William Paterson University Office of Advancement team in December of 2018. With the first semester coming to a close, I would like to share some news from the College of Arts & Communication:

Jessica St. Clair, BFA ’02 • Painting a brighter future for shelter dogs

What began as a fun pastime – photographing her dog Molly – has turned into a business and community service venture for Jessica St. Clair '02. The WP alumna, who earned her BFA in graphic design, combines skills in that platform with original photography and digital art in her “Bark Remarks” greeting card line. Many of the dogs featured in her “doggone funny” creations – sold online and in five stores across Maryland and Pennsylvania – are shelter animals. St. Clair donates a portion of the annual proceeds to A Buddy for Life animal shelter in her hometown of Elkton, Maryland.

To view Jessica’s work and learn more about St. Clair’s Bark Remarks™ greetings, fine art and graphic design, visit http://www.jessicastclairstudio.com/barkremarks.

Michael Rees, Professor and Director of the Center for New Art at WP
Michael's works are on display at the Grounds For Sculpture

His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world, including notably the Whitney Museum and the OMI International Arts Center in New York, MARTa Museum in Herford, Germany, and the Pera Museum in Instanbul, Turkey among many others. Rees has received grants from Creative Capital, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Rockefeller Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
