Hand-drawn: Selected Alumni Works from Wheaton College’s Collections

March 17–April 11, 2026

Opening Reception: Thursday, March 19, 5-8pm

In honor of Professor Claudia Fieo’s retirement after 34 years of distinguished teaching in printmaking, graphic design, and foundations, Hand-drawn: Selected Works from Wheaton College’s Collections celebrates the enduring creativity of her students. This exhibition features 25 years of acquisitions from the Friends of Art Student Art Collection, an initiative spearheaded by Professor Fieo and funded by the Friends of Art alumni organization to purchase exceptional work each year from the Senior Visual Art Exhibition.

Spanning prints, drawings, animation, and sculpture, the featured works are drawn from the Student Art Collection, the Wheaton College Permanent Collection, and the Marian B. Gebbie Archives & Special Collections. More than a historical archive, this collection stands as a testament to exceptional student achievement and serves as a vital, aspirational teaching tool for future Wheaton artists.

The alumni artists include:
