HAYS, Kan. -- "Am I Your Idea of Me, Yet," an MFA exhibit by Casey Stueber, Rahway, N.J., graduate student, will close with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 13, in the Moss-Thorns Gallery in Rarick Hall on the Fort Hays State University campus.

Creating innovative and confrontational creatures from ceramics and mixed media elements, Stueber has assembled more than 50 human-animal hybrid figures that challenge notions of self, identity, superficiality and honesty.

She has exhibited locally and nationally and was a featured artist in Art Prize at the Grand Rapids Public Museum in 2011. An outstanding educator, Casey has earned a position as art instructor at Crowder College, Mo., next fall.
