Miyeon Kim – I got an art award in middle
school and stopped painting after high
school in South Korea. Six years later, I
came to the United States and went to
college in Texas for a few months, but
I had to stop. I started to go to college
again after 10 years at Pima Community
College. It is meaningful to receive an art
award at this college. I’m so glad I didn’t
give up on my dream. This is a great start
to my dream as an artist. I draw myself in
“Addicted”. My friend took a photo of me
using a cellphone on the couch while I’m
laying down. I never used a cell phone this
much before. I admit that I am addicted
to smartphones.
Monica Nelson – Monica Nelson is a
retired educator with over 44 years of
service. She has enrolled in several art
classes at PCC over the past two years
as a “life-long” learner Art has become
a whole new experience for her and has
been especially important during the
pandemic!
This piece “ Emotional Growth” is mostly
colored pencil except I used paint for the
somewhat abstract background.
Nathan Coffey – Nathan Coffey is a
hobbyist photographer living in Tucson, AZ.
He is pursuing digital game development
at Pima with a focus on programming.
Portia Cooper (She/Her) – Portia is a dualenrollment
student studying computer
science and mathematics. She works in
many art mediums, but prefers pen and
ink. Her work is often inspired by folktales
and myths.
Rebecca Farris – Rebecca is an aspiring
graphic artist. Her dream is to one day
make a career out of publishing graphic
novels, and is going to school for her
art degree. She was born in Arizona but
moved to Colorado at the age of 10 with
her family. After some family loss, she
returned to Arizona and moved to Tucson
to finish college.
