Tom Flowers and family share passion for art in Furman's new exhibit

He continued to study there and was offered a teaching position at Ottawa University in Kansas, where he taught for two years before going to East Carolina University, eventually replacing his own professor at Furman, where he taught from 1959-89. Tom Flowers was able to travel the world through the Fulbright Program and leading study-abroad programs for his students. He additionally created and executed the Mace of Furman University, a symbol of the president's leadership. The Flowers family has always loved and supported one another's work, because it is one of the common threads that brings them together. "There is an unspoken understanding. You have to defend yourself to a lot of people, but when you are around someone who's dedicated to that cause themselves, they understand. There is that built-in connection," Kristy Higby says of the artistic family's members. When discussing an exciting new project or idea, each Flowers family member knows that they will have the support of one another. Since a large portion of the family has at some point pursued art as a career, or even taught, they know that support is part of what has brought art into each generation. "It's a little nature, it's a lot nurture. But if it's in you, it will eventually come out whether you're exposed to it by your family or not," Higby explains. While Mark Flowers and Higby always saw creativity in their sons, Morgan and Carson, they did not always think it would be the path they would choose. "We have now watched our sons take it on, and Tom has seen two of his children take it on, and it was just a delight to see it come out in them in their own way," Higby explains. "We knew they were both talented, but we didn't know if they were going to follow it through, but we saw it was there." Tom Flowers feels a great deal of pride for his family's passion for art and feels lucky to have something to share with them. He also feels pride over the exhibit at Furman and the fact that they are honoring him, as well as his family. "It's marvelous," he says. "It makes me feel big. It makes me happy that my family has chosen to follow in their own art. It's their job to find out how they will do it." Marta Lanier, art program specialist at Furman University, says the exhibit is unique because three generations of artists are represented. "All of the artists have their own styles and techniques," she says. "It will be very interesting to see all of the work together in one room, so that we as the viewers can find similarities and differences much like we would when we look at the characteristics of people from the same family." "Tom Flowers is a very important part of the art department," Lanier says. "He was a Furman alum [who] came back to Furman...

BC woman angry at online florist after Mother's Day flowers arrive late and wilted

It is certainly not our deliberate intention to send either."The Better Business Bureau (BBB) said it took over the Bloomex file from Ottawa about six months ago.

Does the shop look like they spent some money on their website and check reviews? Do they look like they came from a real person?" ...

Tragically Hip fans in Kingston, Ont., lay flowers for Gord Downie memorial

Wiping away a few tears, she fondly remembered taking her 15-year-old son Brad Francis to the Hip's final Ottawa show -- her son's first live concert. "I told him, 'You're never going to see another concert like that.' The emotion in that building was incredible," she said. Bush then paused to reflect on the lingering calm in Kingston as the community digests news of Downie's passing. "It's a different feeling in the city today without him," she said. "Kingston embraced him. He's like our son. He's everybody's friend, everybody's brother." Earlier, Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson laid a wreath dedicated to Downie at city hall, which was illuminated in red and white in the evening to honour Downie. "It's tragic news and a sad day for Kingston," Paterson said. "But you can't help but think about all the memories, all of the amazing things that he and the rest of the band have done for this community." Outside the local arena, where Downie and the Hip played their final show in August 2016, a public bench was turned into a more sombre memorial a few steps away from a rock radio station. Passersby stopped in silence to look at several items left for the tribute, including a fedora similar to the ones Downie wore on the "Man Machine Poem" tour that was nestled between a blanket of flowers. Local transit buses carried their own tributes on their route displays. It was succinct, but seemed to speak volumes for many: "Gord, We'll Miss You."With files from Neil Davidson... (CTV News)
