Art student wins international award

browntowerJonathan Leo Brown, a graduate student in Art Education, College of Education, recently received the NICHE Student Award in Mixed and Miscellaneous Media. Brown's “Tower of Light” received one of only 19 awards out of nearly 1,000 entries from the United States and Canada.

A mixed media piece combining wood, Lucite, brass, bronze and silver, “‘Tower of Light' is a play on light and architectural forms,” Brown said. He said he enjoys “the combination of the different materials and the challenge of putting those together.”

Brown's work, along with other NICHE Student Award winners and finalists, will be featured in the spring issue of NICHE Magazine and on a DVD to be released later this year.
