Three UTM students display their works in Fine Arts lobby


There are some eclectic pictures adorning the first and second floors of the Fine Arts building.

Hanging on one wall are works by Lee Woodrough. His work ranges from brochures, layouts and designs done in Photoshop, to a handcarved wood veneer door titled Buddha, and a wood, metal, and glue creation titled Stages.

His most amazing piece is The Chambord Singularity. It is so simple, yet is so full of emotion.

While his pieces were not as artistic as some, Woodrough shows some exceptional talent in graphic design.

He proves this in the brochures he designed concerning the 22-Alliance, the I169 Proposal Map and the Brian Brown Memorial Greenway.

On the other wall of the first floor lobby is artwork done by Matt Taylor.

His pieces include photos done in photoshop, paintings and pencil drawings. He appears to have two identical pieces on the wall, both titled War in the South.

But upon closer inspection, the one of the left is mixed media, while the one on the right is an acrylic on canvas painting of the one on the left.

Taylor does have a sense of humor as well. He has four postcards that reflect on Martin.

They show that Martin is on the map by pointing to the highway sign as you enter the town from Dresden and that Martin is home of some of the best home cooking in the south while he sits in a port-a-potty.

He also has some pencil sketches of figures displayed and several paintings.

Upstairs and to the left are paintings done by Nicki Resayne. Each painting she displayed showed such detail and was full of emotion. The feelings of certain pieces were kind of mixed but you somehow felt was going on, even if was almost impossible to name what that feeling is.

While her paintings were dark and mysterious, she gave a new twist on the term “art.”

Many of the art exhibits have just been pencil drawings and other forms of every day life or other things, but did not convey the sense of inner feelings that some artists choose not to portray in their work.

She unleashes those feelings that we sometimes hide deep inside. These incredible works of art will be on display until Nov. 23 in the Fine Arts building.

Stop by on the way to class and catch a glimpse of these up and comers in the art world.
