Show work with a unique vision

Essay: One of the following

"1. Throughout history, artists have been influenced by the places they have traveled, events they have experienced, and relationships they have cultivated. What individual (artist or otherwise), event, or personal experience has had a profound effect on your art?

2. As a student seeking a visual arts education, you have many options. The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is a unique institution. What specifically attracted you to the Museum School?

3. Artists often have a specific idea—which they are exploring through their work—that may not be obvious to the observer. What would you like us to know about your artwork that we might not be able to see from your portfolio?

4. You may also submit a personal statement." SMFA

Two letters of Recommendation

So yeah!

I'm incredibly nervous about this whole process, really.

But, i've gotta keep making work throughout the summer especially and into the fall.

They are in reverse order of how I feel right now, right now, SMFA is my number one, RISD is number two, and SAIC is number 3.

Earlier today we had our first day of Bootcamp for our fresh meat here in peoria.

It was great!

We had fourteen girls show up for our very first session!

That meant us vets didn't get to skate though, which kinda sucked, but it was fun to watch them.

I love being a rollergirl.
