“Art has been an integral part of my life since childhood, and I envision it being a crucial part of my future. While I’m unsure about my future, I hope to continue my art journey in the classroom, whether as a student, working in higher education, or teaching children.”
“I often draw artistic inspiration from the people I love. For this piece, that inspiration came from three of my closest friends. I took this picture a while ago, and it quickly became a favorite because of how clear the love in it was. My goal when creating this was to portray that love and warmth even in a slightly abstract art form.”
