Payton Marie Miller

   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.
