Campbellsville University Centennial paintings for sale By Joan C. McKinney, director of university communications. Campbellsville University is offering a centennial painting for sale. "From Dreams to Reality," a watercolor depiction of the 100-year history of Campbellsville University, was painted by Billie Sue Kibbons, a 1975 alumna from Campbellsville. Kibbons has an art studio in her home. She is the wife of Dr. Jerry Kibbons, a professor emeritus in Christian studies at Campbellsville University. The painting portrays the 100 years of history of Campbellsville Universitys existence. It illustrates everything from the college founding, disastrous fire of the Administration Building in the late 1930s, the position of the Maple Trail to the current arrangement of the University, with the addition of the many new buildings. John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president of Campbellsville University, is serving as the universitys Centennial Celebration chair. He said, "Mrs. Kibbons was a prefect candidate for the artist of our Centennial painting because she graduated from the school and her husband taught at CU from 1964 to 1992." "She has a long connection to CU, and, with her knowledge, it was apparent that she was very familiar with the school, her history, the close affiliation we enjoy with the community, and those aspects of Campbellsville Universitys history that make it a distinctive and very unique place." Chowning said the people who know Kibbons know she is a talented artist. "She has taught art privately to several young people through the years and has gained recognition and respect in the area," he said. "Kibbons brought a passion and understanding to the process that was unmatched by others who may have come from outside the community and University family," he said. "She spent countless hours over several months in doing the painting," Chowning said. Anyone interested in purchasing prints can do so through the university. The prints are available for $25. If they are ordered, the cost is $30, which includes postage and handling costs. For more information, contact Chowning at (270) 789-5520 or at jechowning@campbellsville.edu.
