Hello! My name is Grace and I am a sophomore BME ME double major. I am from Goffstown NH and I live on campus.
Going back to when I was about 3 years old I starting dancing (ballet, tap, hip hop, everything) and that became my major creative outlet all the way to today where before covid I would do Zumba on campus and try to take class at home over breaks.
More traditional art making has been in my life for a similarly long time. I’ve been painting, drawing, and trying various forms of sculpting/modeling since I could hold pencils and brushes. Most recently I took a figure drawing course and found it really challenging and then rewarding in the end.
Throughout my life I have tried dozens of different crafts and art forms and whenever I find a new one I love working my way from knowing nothing to being able to make something I am proud of. Knitting, collaging, clay modeling, paper-mache, sculptures out of duct-tape, acrylic landscapes, abstract watercolors, drawing from life and pictures, digital painting/drawing.
In my current life art had taken a backseat for a while with the stresses of college life but as I have taken more art classes here I have learned that art is a way for me to get away from the strict ‘correct’ answers that are everywhere in engineering and use a different part of my brain that makes things more fun. Art in all of it’s many forms has always and I hope will continue to be a part of my life as a way to express and enjoy myself. I see my future combining a lot of skills I have learned from art with whatever job I end up with, be it in a direct way like biomechanical designing, or in a less direct way like thinking more creatively.

Hi Grace, I will give you the cute badge. I love your embroidered island piece.
I’m going to give you the striking badge. The dynamic poses of the dancers draws in your eye. I also like the color contrast on the pumpkin painting.
Familiar: Hi grace! I’ve seen like most of this before so its all pretty familiar, yet still impressible at the same time.
Hi Grace, I think your work is very thought provoking. You have an amazing skill to capture light and movement! Great work!
Striking: I love the contrast in your pieces of shadow and light. Especially with your figure drawings!
Hi Grace, your embroidery is so cute! I’m also really impressed by your dedication to Ballet.
Hi Grace!! I really love your artwork, it’s stunning. I’m going to give you the detailed badge, because especially with the embroidery it takes a lot of attention to details to make something like that. Your drawings are also amazing, I really like them :))
Hi Grace! I’m going to give you the quirky badge! I think your art is really beautiful and I especially like the dance artwork. When I look at it, there is so much color and fun energy, while also being sort of thought-provoking as the pose seems like it requires a lot of skill and training.
Impressive! I didn’t realize the picture of the white cloth was a drawing. Very realistic!
Hi Grace! I am going to give you the gorgeous badge because your drawings are amazing and very beautiful. I loved looking at your artwork, it is very impressive!!
Hi! I think the familiar badge for the piece that has the arrows showing the dancers motion because it reminds me of when I did ballet and the motion that was needed to move in.
Hey Grace! Your drawings are great. I’ll give you the cute and impressive badge!
Inventive: I loved the dancing pictures, it was different than things I’ve seen before!
Hi Grace! your works contain so much movement and free-flowing forms, but unfortunately, there is no movement badge, so I will be leaving you with the gorgeous badge! the realism in both detail and movement really blew me away
Hi! You have a great eye for realism and motion! Your ability to capture a figure in motion is very impressive! I am going to give you the familiar badge because we have both taken the intro to art and figure drawing classes here and I love seeing how you were able to depict the same things I was looking at in such a beautiful and real way.
striking – I love how you combined so many different forms of art, that you have included dance in your photography as well as digital drawing
