Visual Art – Boulder

Hi, I\'m Michelle. I recently graduated with a Studio Art degree from CU Boulder. Although I struggled with school as many students do, now that I\'m done with it I feel a sense of anxiety about my future as I continue to try and figure out who I am if not a student. Making art is the one thing that makes me feel totally comfortable with myself because it gives me power and complete control over the final outcome. So many things in my life are out of my control, but through drawing I instill in myself a sense (false sense perhaps, but a sense nonetheless) of power. My work serves as a sort of distraction for me from harsh realities and through various aesthetically pleasing images, I hope to temporarily distract viewers from their problems, too, and leave them in a beautiful, problem-free place if only for a minute.
