MHCC STUDENT ART ON DISPLAY

On Thursday, Mt. Hood Visual Arts students joined a reception to celebrate their student exhibit in the Visual Arts Gallery.

Their impressive work is on display, free and open to all, in the Gallery 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through Friday, June 2.

Claudia Cooper

Claudia’s niece was the inspiration because she and Claudia have a deep connection: They bond through the arts. It took Claudia the entire term to create this beautiful sculpture. She first learned how to form the skull and facial features. She said it is a process, “But you learn a lot from it.”

Bella Bilyeu

She said she loves 1800s-period clothing (top painting), and (lower) really wanted to paint a Greek girl in pretty clothes.

Fern Miner

Fern likes Eldritch Horror and wanted to create a scary celestial being. She had started out with a traditional drawing but turned it into a sculpture.

C.A. Gray

“I grew up with a Protestant family on the East Coast. Being raised around an ancient death cult will do things to you…”
