Alumni Art Ex­hi­bi­tion

Mishawaka, IN---The alumni art group ex­hi­bi­tion fea­tured a few art pieces across the Great Hall in the Ever­est-Rohrer/​Fine Arts Cen­ter. It opened on Nov. 16 at 11a.m., and will be dis­played un­til Feb. 1, 2019.  

Alyson Greene, who grad­u­ated from Dav­en­port in 2013, used oil for each of her seven dis­played paint­ings. Her largest paint­ing spanned across al­most half of the cor­nered wall and was named “Bub­ble Cousins.” It showed two young chil­dren tak­ing turns blow­ing bub­bles.  

Alyson’s husband, Aaron Greene, who does his artwork in ink, featured both his animal and floral series. The animal series included five different animals; the floral series included three. Another of his series was a word series including four different words in black and white, just as the rest of his paintings were. He displayed 17 pieces in total.  Matthew Gillin included a letter of introduction of his pieces by a framed paper on the wall. He explained his watercolor paintings as pictures of his home in Puerto Rico. He includes both pre-hurricane and post-hurricane scenery.   He wished to express the tragic loss of homes and necessities because of hurricane Maria. The notecard-sized paintings expressed his empathy, but he hoped viewers can feel that empathy as well. He displayed 13 pieces in total.
