Children's Lit Class Leads Alum to Realize Her Dream

 

Christie Whitaker said she’d always known she wanted to write a book for children. But it was a children’s literature class at University of Houston-Clear Lake that inspired her to take an idea she had about Papilio, a tiny butterfly she liked to draw, on an adventure that started out as her final class project, then went to a publisher, and is now on the shelves in the children’s section of local public libraries.  Read Christie's story.

Artist Says UHCL Professor's Mentorship Led Him to Success

The work of 16 artists, including three UHCL alumni, is now on display in a community arts exhibition in UH-Clear Lake’s Art Gallery. This juried exhibition features work from across all media, including wooden sculpture, ceramics, painting and prints. Justin Hashaw, who received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Design with Studio Concentration last month, has a set of two ceramic pots on display in the exhibition. He said he chose to transfer to UHCL after graduating from San Jacinto College mainly because he had become familiar with the work of (Assistant Professor of Ceramics) Clay Leonard and hoped to be taught and mentored by him. Visit the UHCL Newsroom to read more about Justin's journey and the UHCL Art Gallery exhibit.
