From Tech Today:

Susie Kilpela Library Art Exhibit

A collection of drawings by Susie Q. Kilpela is installed on the second floor of the Van Pelt and Opie Library, to the east of the elevators.

Kilpela, a senior lecturer in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) who began Michigan Tech's ceramics program, created her detailed pen and ink drawings inspired by natural organisms. She notes that she looks carefully at the world around her and absorbs the beauty and the ugly in it. "And then I draw," she says.

The exhibition is a partnership between the Van Pelt and Opie Library and the Rozsa Center, where Kilpela is a featured artist this year.
