Payton Miller brings 'The Rock' painting tradition to Bristol

[kamoshika]

University of Tennessee senior Payton Miller painted the Rock in downtown Bristol Thursday evening during the Battle on the State Line Kickoff event.

Miller, who has painted the famous Rock on the Knoxville campus for a couple of years, ventured to Bristol for festivities leading up to Saturday’s Battle at Bristol game between the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech. A makeshift rock sign was set up along State Street, on the Tennessee side, where fans signed one side and she painted the other.

Good article on Miller in The Daily Beacon:

“It’s something none of us can do,” [Khalil] Mckenzie said. “All of the (football team), we see and we appreciate (her paintings). That’s a cool thing.”

“(Tennessee) is a school that’s given a lot to me so far in the three years I have been here,” Miller added. “Anyway my painting cans help, I totally love that, and I hope I have given people something to look forward to on game day.”

I actually had a few classes with her before I graduated. For all I could tell, she is every bit as good of a person as she is a painter.

So, she's good looking, has an astounding talent for art, and likes sports (and UT sports at that.)

What you're saying is she's gotta be crazy to balance all of the amazing stuff out.
