Classnotes, March 2013

We do our best to get most of the news you submit to us onto the CCAD News Blog, but because there are more than 10,000 of you making news all over the world, not everything can make it into the blog. We’re glad to have another venue where we can share everything with you—this newsletter’s classnotes.

You can submit classnotes via the easy-to-use form on the alumni landing page. We only post career-related successes, awards, exhibitions, and publications, but we’d also love to know when you move, get married, or have children—just use that same form.

Now, without further ado, your classnotes from December, January, and February!

Brent Payne’s “Pepper, Tuesday Morning, 8:33″

Adjunct faculty and Fine Arts alumnus Brent Payne (CCAD 2006) will have a drawing in the 47^th Annual National Drawing & Small Sculpture Show hosted by Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, TX, Feb. 22–May 3.

His drawing Pepper, Tuesday Morning, 8:33 will be in the juried exhibition that features work from contemporary artists across the country. The exhibition will include drawings and other works on paper, such as prints in traditional media or watercolors, along with sculptures of any media.

Payne is also showing his work in two other juried exhibitions in Oxford and Dayton, Ohio.

His drawing will be included in the juried exhibition Drawing From Perception VII, at Wright State University in Dayton, OH, running Jan. 13–Feb. 24. The exhibition features the work from 34 artists, highlighting contemporary examples of drawing using traditional media.

Payne will also show his work in the juried exhibition 2013 Department of Art Faculty & Alumni Exhibition at the Miami Art Museum in Oxford, OH, running Jan. 15–May 11, 2013.

Fine Arts associate professor Kristine Schramer will be co-exhibiting with Brent Payne (CCAD ’06) in Tapped. The exhibition is on view through Feb. 18 at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, OH.

The exhibition jurors selected the pairings (shown here) from a number of paintings Schramer and Payne submitted. “I think it’s interesting which two they chose to visually demonstrate our student-professor relationship,” Schramer said. “I don’t think anyone would be able to say which was the teacher and which was the student! But then, Brent was the kind of student who taught his teachers as much as they taught him.”

Payne majored in Fine Arts at CCAD. He currently teaches at Miami University in Oxford, OH.
