Throughout the 4 years at Temple, I can definitely say there has been a change in my artistic style. I would even say the works I have here don’t really represent who I am as an artist. Coming to an art school with numerous amounts of talented artists, I was in for a rude awakening. I struggled a lot in the beginning because I kept comparing myself to those around me. Also, it was a new pace of things from creating art in my free time, to doing it on a daily basis. I lost a lot of confidence in myself, as well as hope of pursuing a career in the arts. However, as I kept moving forward, I learned many new techniques and mediums that I was not exposed to before coming to university. I tried my best to keep up with things and not give up on my true passions; of course, I had an amazing support system through all the good and bad. There were many things I had to adapt to in these 4 years: Covid, online learning, mental health, breakups, breakdowns, and so on. The best way to describe my art style now is adaptability. I want to believe that I adapted through everything to still create art and not give up on my dreams.

Art Therapy ‘23
I am an artist from Horsham, Pennsylvania, hoping to become an art therapist one day. I specialized in oil paintings before Temple University. But I was exposed to other kinds of media and am now working to expand my horizons in the ways I make art. I always had a passion for helping those in need and I hope to utilize this passion in my future endeavors. I want to be able to show others that art can be made by anyone and there is no one set way to create.
