Staff member finds passion in collage art, hosts first gallery show
Collage art is something that Georgia Southern staff member Nancey Price uses as a creative outlet to clear her mind from the hustle and bustle at work. Her art has been featured in publications like O, The Oprah Magazine, and most recently, Price held her debut art show at the Rosengart Gallery in downtown Statesboro. She described her show, which ran from October through November, as an homage to her hometown of Girard, Georgia, growing up in the country, and spending time with family members and elders in her community.
