Howard Payne University is exhibiting the artwork of three senior art students today through March 31. The artwork of Molly Hull of Brownwood, Cantrell Miller of Rochelle and Emily Peisker of Cedar Park is on exhibit in the Dorothy and Wendell Mayes Art Gallery inside HPU’s Doakie Day Art Center. The three students are scheduled to graduate in May.

A reception honoring the artists will be held this Wednesday, March 23, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the gallery foyer. The community is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served.

Each student’s works of art are original artistic statements based upon topics as directed by HPU’s art faculty members including David Harmon, professor of art and chair of the Department of Art; Susan Harmon, adjunct instructor of art; Julie Mize, adjunct instructor of photography; and Tim Cooper, instructor of multimedia communications and computer information systems.

“The faith and devotion to their artist crafts is evidenced in this three-person exhibition,” said David Harmon. “All three artists have been insightful students, not settling for easy solutions but compelling creative ones resulting in this fine exhibition.”

The art media includes drawing, painting, design, photography, graphic design and other studio art areas.

Gallery hours during school sessions are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Howard Payne University and the gallery will be closed for Good Friday, March 25. The art center is located on the HPU campus, on Center Avenue, near Lipscomb Street in Brownwood. All inquiries may be directed to Harmon at (325) 649-8088 or dharmon@hputx.edu.
