This is a painting from 2012 by our guest art show judge, Eric O'Dell.

Eric is currently a professor at Mercer University.

He teaches drawing and painting.

His studio is at the Contemporary Arts Exchange.

Every summer, Eric takes a group of Mercer students to Europe to experience master art works first-hand! He is one of the most popular professors at Mercer! Go Bears!

He was one of the most effective judges ever for our Spring Art Show!

He gave some very specific awards for various acrylic paintings, awards for scratchboard, and many awards for ceramics. The largest category of awards occurred in the Photo area.

Many students who did hand-tinted photos won awards that year!

Again, many thanks to Eric and is love of students and art!!!
