Graue’s artwork brings message of Hope to walls of Westbrook practice rooms

Over the Summer of 2020, with COVID-19 leaving all of us in search of Hope, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Glenn Korff School of Music Sophomore Music Education Major Melissa Graue returned to her childhood hobby of painting since she had a lot of indoor, spare time on her hands.

“It didn't matter if I was good or not; it was a fun, calming, creative hobby I enjoyed,” Graue said. “And I knew that I had no use to keep all of my paintings for they would just take up space, so I was planning on giving them away to friends.”
