Studio Art B.A. and B.S.

Ceramics/3-D and Spanish, 2019

As someone who has been drawn to, but not always challenged by art throughout my life, Roberts has stretched me in ways that I did not even know were possible. The small, personal class sizes create an atmosphere that is unique and special. Roberts makes the college experience more than just a place to get a degree. It's a place where life lessons are learned that not only are helpful for my future employment, but beneficial to my entire life. I have bettered my artistic skills exponentially since attending Roberts and I look forward to all the learning to come.

Studio Art - Painting, 2019

I am on a mission to tell stories about African Americans that many people haven’t heard. I’m from a place where events get pushed under the rug. As person of color, I believe that it is my duty to utilize my voice through my work to bring these stories to the light. Painting is my way of communicating those experiences.

The Roberts Art Department is the place to be because the professors here push you to your limits. They are very caring and want nothing but the best out of you. In addition to my classes, I’m on the Men’s Basketball team and the school Senate.

Studio Art -Drawing/Painting & Music (double major),  2020

Roberts has been the perfect place to merge my love for art, music, and writing. I found professors who were excited to blend my passions into my curriculum so I can excel in the things I love. I believe artistic, musical, and written works all share a narrative value. Every one of my pieces tells a story. Here at Roberts, I didn't have to choose one discipline over another.

Studio Art - Photography, 2019

Photography is a passion of mine and I create to express what my words cannot. I love photography because it gives me the ability to create moments and stories in a field that is evolving in exciting ways. The professors in the Art Department care so much about you and the work that you make. I’ve used them and the department resources to learn all I can!

I have been involved in several clubs which have enriched my time at Roberts, including CRU (an outreach club), BASIC (worship based club), and SMAC (student multicultural advisory club).

Studio Art -Graphic Design, 2020

I want to inform and bring happiness to my viewers by creating characters and artwork that they can connect with. In my Graphic Design classes, I have focused on character design and how to convey emotion and information effectively.

I am the Head of Social Media for Ecology Club. This role helped me educate people about the environment, a topic I am passionate about. I am also the Vice President of the Art Club.
