Learning and trying new things has always been a source of inspiration. I find myself surrounded by many extraordinary people with many perspectives and ideas – not just about art, but in life, which inspires me. We are all so unique and I wish I had time to get to know more people well. As a student at Mason Gross School of the Arts, experiencing what other artists create is inspiring and motivating. I feel fortunate to be able to admire and celebrate what they do.

    I feel there are a lot of people who are artistic but don’t consider themselves to be artists. As humans we are made to create. Consider styling hair, creating physical spaces, buildings, gardens, atmospheres, interactions, medical devices. There’s a lot of creativity and artistic thinking around us, that’s also inspiring to me.
