Affectionately subtitled "Not Far from the Tree," this exhibit features the work of father and daughter artists, Harrell and Bess Whittington. As a 1966 grad, Mr. Whitt served faithfully throughout the University in various capacities, including Art+Design Faculty, by imprinting generations of students in drawing, watercolor, and printmaking. His daughter, Bess, a 2002 alum, draws upon her "love of nature and art developed from a childhood spent in her father’s garden” to create dimensional collages.
