Her piercing eyes are visible across the cafeteria. A multitude of faces dangle from the ceiling. A woman is blindfolded by Uncle Sam. Is this a plot for a mystery novel? No, they are all pieces of art that have been created by graduating senior Geronna Lewis.

Her humble demeanor disguises the many layers of her being. Her demure smile and her ready hug is what she is best known for among her close friends.

You would not have guessed that art was not her first love. Lewis actually wanted to pursue engineering and thought that her artistic abilities would be achieved .through dancing. She has met several people that have nurtured her talent and helped her find a niche in her fine arts major at Cabrini.

"Lisa Learner has been behind me in my artwork, always pushing me to continue to do my best," Lewis said. "Rachel Slaughter is my mentor; I go to her for a lot of things. And Ted Blaidsdell has helped me come up with a lot of ideas for Ethic Student Allaince."

"My mother always had a book in her hand reading, whether it was the Bible or not. It wasn't always what she told me that made me want to read the Bible for myself," Lewis said. "It was her prayers and the effect of those prayers p=
