Two Cornell College studio art seniors were featured in the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Sun’s article, “Cornell art seniors turn personal experiences into final art exhibits,” published on April 1, 2026.
Isabella Strauss ’26 and Cameron Reimers ’26 were interviewed in the article about their exhibitions and the stories behind the art. Isabella Strauss’ show, “Do You Kiss Your Mother with that Mouth,” features wearable art and explores the intersection of environmental destruction and the historical oppression of women. Through a series of paintings, Reimers’ show invites viewers to notice the beauty in everyday farm objects in Iowa while reflecting on the relationships and shared experiences that give them meaning.
Strauss will have a collection showing on May 2, at 1:30 p.m. in Armstrong's Ringer Recital Hall. Reimers will present her exhibition April 19–29, alongside 11 other seniors. An opening reception will take place from 2–4 p.m. on Sunday, April 19, in McWethy Hall’s Peter Paul Luce Gallery, Cole Library Gallery, and Hall-Perrine in the Thomas Commons, where the exhibitions will be featured. The opening receptions and shows are free and open to the public.
