“Art has always been a big passion of mine from a young age and as I moved through high school. I want to share my skills and techniques to help other students realize their own unique talent and love for the arts. This program has great professors who know what they’re doing and are really willing to help us with whatever questions we might have or help us solve any problems that might come up.”
