"Gliding Past" by Laura Mosquera
"Feet with Nectarine" by Jeff Danley
The MTSU Department of Art presents the opening exhibit of the Todd Art Gallery’s fall 2012 semester. Entitled “Painting Painters Paint,” the exhibition features the collected works of 15 innovative and currently producing artists.
Envisioned by Art Professor Sisavanh Houghton, she and fellow professors Melissa Newman, Bob Durham and Charles Clary invited colleagues from across the mid-south to participate. The result serves as an outstanding collection of style, interpretation and process. While including not only the traditional two-dimensional work of fine art painters, several may equally be considered sculptural in presentation. Those participating are well-known regionally with many also having achieved national recognition. The group also includes Mark Bradley-Shoup, Ron Buffington, Tom Burtonwood, Gianna Commito, Jeff Danley, Joshua Dildine, Hamlett Dobbins, Greg Eltringham, Jason Hoelscher, Joshua Huyser, Mead McLean, Laura Mosquera, John Nelson, Yvonne Petkus and Craig Drennen.
The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 20 and is free and open to the public. Todd Art Gallery hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 pm. For more exhibit or parking information, call Eric Snyder at (615) 898-5653.
