Selected Projects 20<strong>16</strong>-<strong>18</strong><br />
I am a senior Fine Arts major in the Department<br />
of Art and Design. I also mi<strong>no</strong>r in Art History in<br />
the Department of Art Education, Art History, and<br />
Media Studies. The goal my OUR-funded project<br />
was to highlight African-American student life on<br />
campus. I used the fund to do research, purchase<br />
painting materials, and organize a solo exhibition<br />
featuring portraits of African-American students on<br />
campus. Every portrait is accompanied by a short<br />
narrative, describing the thoughts of the student<br />
models I chose to paint. My project was supported<br />
by Professors Pamela Karimi (Art History) and Bryan<br />
McFarlane (Painting) and I am extremely grateful to<br />
both of them for their guidance.<br />
