Art makes the world more
beautiful and allows individuals to express themselves freely. There are many
different forms of art, but something I truly appreciate is a painter. This
week I will be talking about Payton Miller. Through the students’ eyes, she may
actually be the most famous local artist. I have had the privilege of getting
to know this sweet soul over the past year. She has more heart and passion than
anyone I have ever met. I chose Payton because it is so difficult to find time
to do anything as a college student, yet she takes the time very often to spend
10 hours painting something that may be painted over the next day. Payton
started out painting on the rock with her own funds and paying for all of her
supplies just because she loved the University so much. She bleeds orange.
Payton fills the rock with incredible art work every week during football
season and is quick to note when the students need any inspiration. It is easy
to say that Payton effectively touches more lives than anyone on this campus. I
aspire to be as inspiring and talented as she is one day. While Payton focuses
on painting the rock, she travels around painting for those who request her
talent. Through all of the news attention and web popularity, Payton stays
pretty busy. While she is graduating this year, her art will continue to
inspire individuals here on this campus and change lives. Wherever this
extremely talented individual is led, she will make a difference.
What a great idea to choose her as an artist! She has been very influential in her paintings on the rock.
