Photography major Emmie Harvard (BFA May 2021) was featured on the cover of local Flagpole Magazine this past March. Her painting titled “POV: my neighbor’s dog” depicts a woman crouching in the corner of her kitchen, possibly sharing in the feelings of anxiety, boredom, dread or surrender that many viewers have experienced this past year. This piece was a part of the 46th Juried Exhibition at the Lyndon House Arts Center, which will remain on view through June 26. Congratulations Harvard!

Mary Ruth Moore, Professor Emeritus in Photography, taught beginning and advanced photography in the Lamar Dodd School of Art. She has also taught in the University of Georgia Studies Abroad program numerous times since 1983.
