Sussex County Community College (SCCC) is proud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of Sarah Ransom, a 2022 graduate of SCCC’s Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) program. Sarah recently completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree at William Paterson University, showcasing her extraordinary talent and dedication to the arts.

Sarah's work was featured last week at the William Paterson University BFA reception, where her stunning still-life paintings were on display. These pieces uniquely explore self-portraiture through the lens of still life, demonstrating her artistic vision. Equally impactful were her ceramic creations, including intricate wall vases holding dried flowers and bone arrangements, highlighting her ability to excel in diverse mediums.

One of Sarah's painting mentors, SCCC Adjunct Professor Janet Cunniffe-Chieffo, played a significant role in her artistic journey. Sarah credits SCCC with providing her with a solid foundation in the arts, which enabled her to achieve her academic and creative goals.

Prospective students interested in Fine Arts or any of the 100+ programs offered at SCCC can register for the spring semester at sussex.edu/spring. Classes begin on January 21.
