Shelby Coulter is currently a senior attending Valdosta State University, majoring in Fine Arts. Growing up in the small, humble town of Jackson, Georgia, Coulter attended the only high school in town. It was there she discovered art. Initially inspired by her high school art teacher, Coulter decided to major in Art Education. During her sophomore year of college, she fell in love with the process of creating. It was during this time she changed her major from Art Education to a BFA in Studio Art, with the dream of a career as an Art Director.

Distance Does Not Stop Creativity.

This year the senior exhibition for BFA and BA graduates had to be moved online due to COVID-19; however, this did not stop this amazing group of seniors from displaying their artwork. Each of the seniors in the show has put quite a bit of time into growing their career and expanding on their skill set. Some of the media included in this show are ceramics, printmaking, digital illustration, drawing, and many other media were all represented. The show titled In Bold, showcases the work of 15 seniors graduating from the College of Art at Valdosta State. The form of this years exhibition threw some interest curve balls at the students, but each of them overcame any obstacle presented to create a digital exhibition that will be viewed for years to come.

Small world, big mind

Logan Lott’s *Good Hope*, Digital Pinhole Photography, 8”x10”, 2019.

Logan Lott was born and raised in Valdosta Georgia by a family with not much interest in art. She says, “I am the oddball of the family for sure. No one in my family or extended family has ever had much interest in the arts beyond craft projects.” As far as she can remember, Logan has always had a passion for art. She grew up as a big fan of pop artists such as Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein. She is also fond of Frida Kahlo, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, and many other women artists. Logan is heavily influenced by many different art movements such as Dadaism, Surrealism, Pop Art, Postmodernism, and Contemporary art.

Seeing Yourself For The First Time

Due to unfortunate circumstances, the senior show exhibition has been put online along with the rest of classes at Valdosta State University. The Coronavirus, or COVID-19, has ravaged the world and has managed to put everything at a halt. Classes have been fully moved to online, stores are being closed or put on tight restriction, and shortages of necessities are scaring masses of people. Despite all these setbacks, students are living on and working around the challenges of the virus.
