Milligan University’s
“Murmuration”
Art Show
The exhibit, “Murmuration,” features 62 works of art by 36 artists, designers and photographers at Milligan.
“‘Murmuration’ is a celebration of all the areas of study and types of media within the fine art and visual communication academic programs,” said Art Brown, associate professor of graphic design. “It’s especially exciting to the faculty to show our own artwork on campus side-by-side with our students. They get to see what we create, experiment with and research on our own outside of the classroom, and we get to share the experience of showing that work to the public.”
Two of my designs, specifically the Refugee Book Jacket and JB’s Bar were displayed within the exhibit.
“Two Cats + A Herd of Buffalo” Art Show
“Two Cats + A Herd of Buffalo” — the 2023 Milligan art exhibition at Dos Gatos Coffee Bar in Downtown Johnson City. This is an annual art show held publicly for Milligan students to show off their work from their year in class. This show has a packed coffee house every year and my work was displayed on its walls.
“Zephyr”
Graphic Design
Showcase
“Zephyr,” was on display from March 30 – April 4, 2025 in the Milligan Art Gallery located in Derthick Hall. This event was curated and assembled by myself and three fellow designers.
The showcase featured works by graphic design seniors Aiden Bailey, of Summerville, South Carolina; André Bazzana Semensato, of São Paulo, Brazil; Samuel Kyker, from Travelers Rest, South Carolina; and Brisa Lucas Pino, of Johnson City, Tennessee.
The title for the showcase, “Zephyr,” means soft, gentle breeze, and it was selected based on Lucas Pino’s observation that the seniors’ development at Milligan is similar to a “gentle, constant progression of growth and transformation.”
