Thank you @creativmag for the spotlight . . . #grateful #creativmagazine

Hi all, as a lot of you know, I just graduated from my MFA graduate program in fine arts at RIT. Because of the outbreak of the virus, the thesis exhibitions th...at my peers and I had planned were unfortunately cancelled. RIT put together a virtual exhibition for all the BFA and MFA students whose shows were cancelled. In addition to that, I put together a page on my website with more images of my own work for anyone who's interested. I'm thankful that the virus only affected me in a comparatively minor way but of course it sucked to have my show cancelled. Either way, I'm happy to be done now. Check out the artwork if you're interested, I'm proud of the work that both I and all of my peers made, especially considering the circumstances at the end.

CONGRATULATIONS! To all the Fine Arts Studio MFA and BFA graduates today. We cannot celebrate in person- but these groups have done amazing things during their academic careers and we wish them the BEST moving into the art world. #RITartdesigngrad2020 #RITGRAD
