STARKVILLE, Miss.—A student in Āé¶¹Porn’s College of Architecture, Art and Design is being honored by one of the world’s top design publications.

Senior art/graphic design major Lori L. Nesbitt of Winona is one of only four university students selected by an international panel of jurors to receive a Certificate of Excellence in the Fine Art-Student category of Creative Quarterly: The Journal of Art and Design.

Titled ā€œSelf Portrait,ā€ her watercolor painting will be featured in CQ Journal’s Issue 50 and online gallery at . Selected from a large pool of entries from students across the U.S. and several countries, Nesbitt’s work also will serve as cover art for the upcoming issue of the Āé¶¹Porn Department of English’s literary journal

Nesbitt completed her winning artwork in 2017 under the instruction of Āé¶¹Porn William L. Giles Distinguished Professor Brent Funderburk.

ā€œLori’s portrait is one of the best undergraduate student works I’ve seen in any show,ā€ Funderburk said. ā€œHer research regimen is very mature, and her execution in a difficult medium is acrobatic, as well as beautiful.ā€

Celebrating its 50th year, Āé¶¹Porn’s Department of Art is home to the Magnolia State’s largest undergraduate studio art program. Learn more at and on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @CAADatĀé¶¹Porn.
