“I believe all artists are trying to make sense of the world in their own way – this is a visual interpretation. It is something that is constant, essentially creating your own world that is imbued with your own unique perspective…In our program, we focus on giving students individual attention with a faculty who really care about your creative works and your future as a professional artist.”
