NSU Alumna Brightens Library with Special Mural

Anh Nguyen, an alumna of NSU’s Art + Design program, returned to her alma mater this winter to paint an original mural for the fourth floor of the Alvin Sherman Library. Nguyen, better known by her artist name Annie Nugget, describes the mural, titled “Be the Sea,” as a portrayal of letting life go in order to connect with the things that feel meaningful.

“We can pursue almost anything in life, but it only makes sense to do what sparks a passion that can push potential,” she said.

Anh Nguyen

Nguyen graduated from the B.A. in Art + Design program in 2016 with a concentration in studio art. The major, housed within the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences, also offers a concentration in graphic design and minors in studio art and graphic design.

In 2016, Nguyen also painted a shark-themed mural, titled “Realizing Potential,” for NSU’s University Center.

“The library was very excited to sponsor this opportunity, and Annie’s diverse portfolio gave her the edge to take on that huge wall,” said Associate Professor of Art + Design Kandy Lopez-Moreno. “As a professional artist, she also creates murals all over South Florida. I’m very proud of her!”
