MHCC STUDENT ARTWORK ON DISPLAY

CLAUDIA COOPER BELLA BILYEU FERN MINER C.A. GRAY

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.”

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

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

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.
