"We are excited to have Claire Dorst, Stanford Slutsky and John McCoy joining our group of professional artists.  Claire Dorst, painter and FAU professor emeritus, joined FAU in 1964 as the founding member and first chairperson for the art department. John McCoy, an accomplished ceramist whose soup tureens are a must buy, brings clay to life with his focus on functional pottery. Stan Slutsky will be adding a splash of vibrant color with his pure geometric and chromatic abstraction paintings."
