Big props to everyone who submitted work to this exhibit! Whether or not you made it in, it's so extremely important to put your art out into the world! I love that Austin spoke about the world needing more artists, don't ever stop making things ya hear?

Congratulations to all the artists who made it into this year's Juried Student Show! This year we received 85 entries and only accepted 36 into the exhibit! Pat yourself on the back whether or not your piece made it in, there was a lot of tough decision making and you should all be proud for putting yourselves and your art out there! Keep creating!

Finished my self-portrait for No Big Heads about a month ago. Here's how it turned out! It's titled 'The Wallpaper' and is inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper which comments on the subordination of women through the invention of mental illness also known as "Female Hysteria". I wanted to reexamine the idea of mental stability by painting myself with a look of contentment in front of a wallpaper design that represents my own weaknesses.

'Self-portrait' featuring my favorite Tom Robbins book, a finger painting from preschool, a treasured photo of Delana and I, a gilded frame I have never found the right picture to hang in, an adorable postcard from Annie, a handful of sharpies in a mug I made last semester, a necklace and painting my dear friend Anneliese made for me, butterfly earrings that Are sadly turning to dust, and an eternally inspirational postcard signed by Frank from Postsecret that Maia surprised me with.
