Senior artists from Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) did their high school swan song last month as their artwork was showcased and sold at The Guild of Creative Art in Shrewsbury.  

“We are proud of our senior artists and glad they had the opportunity to display their culmination of four years of intense study.”

RFH Supervisor Seth Herman

In what has become an annual tradition for the senior artists in the Fine & Performing Arts Department at RFH, a culmination of all of their work, development, creativity and skills was on display at the Guild from April 20 to 27.

This year’s Senior Art Show, showcasing the work of 12 students and overseen and curated by veteran RFH art teachers Kristen Lanfrank and Kate Okeson, was kicked off by an opening reception and showing of 75 original artwork pieces.

Currently enrolled in a variety of courses, Design and Visual Thinking Honors, AP Studio Art, Portfolio Design Honors, and Advanced Ceramics, all twelve students (listed below) culled their artists’ skills under the tutelage of RFH’s art teachers, Lanfrank and Okeson as well as ceramics teacher Zachary Wilson.
