Mark Cole, visiting ceramics artist, introduced himself to a studio filled with students using a narrative approach. Born on July 4 in Detroit, Cole, the youngest of three boys, realized his passion for fishing and art at a young age. “Nature has been something that has fascinated me for years,” Cole said.

Chris Little, fine arts senior, is making his mark in the art world with his works featured on the web, shows and in magazines, both locally and internationally. Little has a concentration in ceramics and new media, and, after seven semesters at IU Southeast, he will be graduating this spring. Mainly working with photography, ceramics and new media — art that is accessible anytime, anywhere on majority of digital devices — Little’s artwork is spread out between online publications, print and shows. He promotes his artwork through communication outlets, such as his personal website, Tumblr, Facebook, Flickr, Vimeo and Twitter.
