Former DMC Art Student’s Work Ranks Among Top 10 Portfolios at University of North Texas
Ray High School graduate competed against 80 other students for entry into upper division of UNT graphic design courses

Former Del Mar College (DMC) art student and W. B. Ray High School graduate Sarah Treanor was chosen recently to have one of the “Top Ten Portfolios” among students enrolled in the University of North Texas’ (UNT) Communication Design Program.

What does that mean for Treanor? She can now move into UNT’s higher level of graphic design courses.

Communication Design students undergo faculty reviews and compete to move forward in the program. Treanor competed against 80 other students for one of the coveted spots.

“We’re proud of Sarah and her success in the competitive Communication Design Program at the University of North Texas,” says Kenneth Rosier, chair of Del Mar College’s Department of Art. “She has an excellent sense of composition, both in two and three dimensions, as well as the ability to produce work displaying excellent craftsmanship.”

“I was particularly impressed with her sculptural work, the best of which was museum or gallery quality,” Rosier adds. “Her talent is quite unusual for a young developing artist."

Treanor took DMC Dual Credit courses while attending Ray High School. As a student at Del Mar College, she was very active in the Student Art Association. The studio art major is now studying for a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in Communication Design at UNT, which has one of the largest art programs in the nation.
