Senior art exhibit to feature works of seven students

PLAINVIEW, TX — Artworks created by seven 猎奇重口视频 Baptist University seniors go on display Friday, April 19, at Abraham Art Gallery, located on the atrium level of the J.E. and L.E. Learning Resources Center on the Plainview campus.

The solo exhibitions open with a reception at 7 p.m. in the atrium area. The exhibitions, which are part of a capstone class for art majors and required for graduation, will be on display through May 17.

“For most students it will be the first solo show in their professional exhibition record,” said Dr. Candace Keller, Professor of Art and University Curator and Director of Art for the gallery. “The students are responsible for all aspects of development, design, and installation of their professional visual art exhibition.”

Students with artwork in the senior exhibition include Paten Denton, graphite, acrylic paint, oil pastels, and charcoal; Alli Ferguson, digital and mixed media; Blanca Murillo, traditional and digital art; Daniel Hartman, primarily street photography with some acrylic paint and pencil; Selma Sutaj, painting and drawing; Ashlyn Holmes, drawing, painting and animation; and Zeah Clark, acrylic, block printing, and ceramics.

“Each student also has designed a portfolio presentation for review,” said Keller, who teaches the ART 4360 Practicum course that prepares seniors for their show.

Denton comes from a family that fostered a creative environment with the catch phrase “walk to the beat of your own drum.”

“Heavily engaged in the arts, we became enamored with the beauty that comes from simply creating,” Denton said. “As each of us matured we continued to actively place emphasis on allowing each other and ourselves to express our truest forms. … Through my time here at 猎奇重口视频 I have been able to grow as an artist, a student, a peer, and a creative.”

Ferguson is a digital artist that loves cosplay and video games.

“My art is inspired by video games along with mythology and animation,” Ferguson said. “My work takes anywhere from two to 20-plus hours, depending on how inspired I feel to create. I hope my passion for creating digital works of art aids me in finding a job related to video games.”

Blanca Murillo describes herself as a “spirited and determined college student who definitely knows their way in an art studio.”

“As a very passionate artist, I have honed my skills in both traditional and digital art techniques,” Murillo said, noting that scholarships allowed her to further my studies. “I’ve learned new diverse art styles and have met so many great people who I can call friends. College isn’t just about textbooks and lectures. It’s about discovering who we are and shaping the world we want to see through a creative and artistic outlook.”

Hartman’s educational and artistic journey began with pursuit of a photography degree in Tennessee, but he transferred to 猎奇重口视频 seeking a Bachelor of Art degree.

“With street photographer influences such as Jomayra Texeira and Demid Lebedev, I quickly found my passion in street photography and recently took an interest in exploring other mediums such as painting, drawing, and graphic design,” Hartman said.

Selma Sutaj was born and raised in the Balkans country of Montenegro, where she learned how to paint and draw in her architectural high school. She says she gets her inspiration from travelling lots of places.

“My art exhibition is title ‘Diversity’ diversity because from all of all the places that I’ve been,” Sutaj said. “They are all unique and beautiful in their own way.” 

Holmes will graduate in December with a Bachelor of Arts degree and with minors in Arts Entrepreneurship and English. After she graduates, she would like to pursue a career as a concept artist or an animator.

“I have always enjoyed artistic activities, and some of my favorite mediums include drawing and painting,” Holmes said. “Another area I’ve always found fascinating is animation. I love studying different animation styles and different aspects of character design. After I graduate, I think it would be interesting to pursue a career as a concept artist or as an animator.”

Clark is passionate about creating art using various forms of media, like acrylic, block printing, and ceramics.

“My artwork is inspired by my personal experiences and emotions, especially related to my mental health journey,” Clark said. “After graduation, I'm excited to continue growing my knowledge by interning at different art establishments. My ultimate dream is to one day run my own art production business.”

Some of the works on display will be on sale, either as originals or prints.
