"The requirement for an odd perspective prompted me to compose the piece around the weather vane on the top of the Wren building, with the founding date as a reminder of the tradition of academics for which William and Mary is so well known," he said.
Submissions for the contest required the artwork to be two-dimensional and depict the College campus, with preference for drawings or paintings that featured a recognizable College scene from an unusual or unexpected perspective. The entries were judged by a jury composed of members of the Department of Art and Art History, the Muscarelle Museum, the Office of Publications and the Office of the President.
Besides being featured on the 2009 Charter Day program, Paulette’s original artwork will be purchased by the President’s Art Collection.
