Aliene de Souza Howell (Painting, Class of 2011):
“I’m exploring ideas of social constructs and how we’ve
chosen to define ourselves as humans. I’m using animals in my work
to highlight the herd mentality within us and bring an element of humor.”
Mitchell Martinez (Painting, Class of 2012):
“I’m using a combination of painting and sculpture
to create a whimsical symbolic landscape of the universal mind.”
“I love to explore bright colors in a semi-surrealist environment.
My paintings tend to exist in their own world…not quite too far from this one.”
