Carrying the Lycoming College Art Gallery through the holidays will be the college’s 2024-25 Art Faculty Show, opening with a gallery talk at 5:30 p.m. Friday, a press release said. The show, which is free and open to the public, will run through Feb. 7 at the downtown gallery, located at 25 West Fourth St. It will feature the works of the following faculty artists:

Seth Goodman

Seth Goodman, associate professor of art at Lycoming College, will show paintings that connect to the social and political dysfunction of our times. Goodman explores celebrity and class worship, the culture wars, and the politics of disinformation. His paintings poetically unearth truths that hide just beyond the folly and the fiction of the topical movements of the day.

Goodman teaches painting, drawing, 2-D design, digital art, and graphic design. He exhibits his paintings, drawings and mixed-media work internationally. His recent solo exhibition this summer at 105 Henry Street in New York City showcased a number of his recent major works.

Andrea M. McDonough

Andrea M. McDonough, Ed.D., is a secondary art educator and K-12 art curriculum coordinator for the Williamsport Area School District. She supports the art and education departments at Lycoming College and leads graduate students at The Art of Education University. McDonough is a successful grant writer with a passion for public art and the promotion of social and emotional learning through mindfulness and creativity. She holds a Pennsylvania K-12 Art Education Certificate and a Pennsylvania PK-12 Supervisory Certificate in Curriculum and Instruction.

McDonough’s current work is a continued exploration of art as mediation. Each piece or series of works embraces intuitive creation and experimentation with varied media. This process-based approach yields unexpected results and nurtures the habit of mindful art-making.

Manuel Moreno-Lee

Manuel Moreno-Lee, assistant professor of digital art, earned his B.F.A. from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and his M.F.A. from Rochester Institute of Technology in Film and Animation. Moreno-Lee is a 3D generalist and artist whose work has been screened at festivals globally, winning several awards. As a freelance animator, he has worked in Boston, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Rochester, N.Y. He works in a wide range of mediums to create narrative-driven work in both 2D and 3D.

“My work focuses on narrative-driven stories and themes of culture, nature, technology, and human identity using a wide range of mediums,” Moreno-Lee said. “While I prefer working on traditional techniques to create my films, the exploration of new technologies is essential in the development and creative process.”

Andreas Rentsch

Andreas Rentsch teaches photography at Lycoming College. Having grown up on a prison compound where his father was the warden, Rentsch’s work is an ongoing exploration of the connection of fate, geography and politics in the direction of justice.

He earned the 2012 Goldberger Award from Stony Brook University.

The prestigious photography magazine, “Aperture,” published one of his portfolios. Other pieces have been published in numerous books and magazines including “The Polaroid Project,” book published as part of four museum exhibitions (2017), Better Photography, “13 Iconic Photographers on the Self Portrait,” Mumbai, India (2016) and other journals. In 2014, he was featured on Push/Pause FIOS Cable TV, “In the Art Studio with Andreas Rentsch,” and in art reviews by the New York Times, USA Today and other prominent media outlets around the world.
