I was a biology major as a freshman, but I had no idea what I wanted to do until ART-02, the Intro to Painting elective. Unlike the galleries of chemical diagrams, it felt right, like I “understood” painting. Like it understood me. The day it all clicked was our midterm; we were told to do something relating to water. I painted the beach. The image is hazy, but I remember sitting at my desk, working away in the dark to Quest.

whether or not there's truth to the story, i can certainly feel the truth in its meaning (if that's not really pretentious lol). i played through in a short 15 minutes, the writing was lovely. building little images in my head to try painting and learning how to do so with little coiled snakes.

Paint snakes! ssssssss
Thank you so much from both of us for the kind words :)
