Why Art?
I chose studio art because it gives me the freedom to express myself creatively in ways I can't with words. It's something I'm passionate about and want to keep growing in. My ultimate career goal is to work as a professional artist. UMU is preparing me for that by giving me opportunities to develop my skills and showcase my work.
