Vaughn Abbott, an alumnus of the Northern Essex Community College<\/a> graphic design program, returns to campus in March, not as a student, but as an accomplished artist, with his exhibit \u201cEffigies and Transformations: A Digital Art Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

A reception and artist\u2019s talk will be held Thursday, March 5, 2020, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public during library hours \u2013 Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. .<\/p>\n

Abbott, a 2013 magna cum laude graduate of NECC, is a Western Maryland native. He currently resides in Newburyport where he works as a freelance graphic designer, photographer, and artist.<\/p>\n

Inspired by poster and album cover designers including Kelly-Mouse, Rick Griffin, Peter Max, Storm Thorgerson, and Aubrey Powell, Abbott says he is constantly trying to \u201ccreate images that take ordinary elements from nature, including humans, animals, and landscapes and put a twist on them to catch your eye\u2026both subtle and not-so-subtle ways are employed to hopefully hold your attention and give you pause\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Northern Essex Department of Art & Design offers many courses in fine art and design leading to an\u00a0Associate Degree in General Studies: Art & Design.<\/a><\/p>\n
