News & Notes EYE ON ARTS About the A ists We are delighted to feature two Dyson College students' a work on the cover and inside cover of this issue. Theirs, along with many other students' works, were showcased at two student exhibitions at the Pace University A Gallery this spring. We asked our students to describe their piece and their inspiration for it. Here's what they said. Color Chemistry (cover) by Mildred Stephany Ma inez '24, A "During a semester break, I had plenty of time to create various diverse projects for my final assignment. Reminiscing, I stumbled upon various methods leading to the same outcome. Unaware of specialized paints, I improvised with water acrylics and a hair blow dryer. Social media became my wellspring of inspiration and enlightenment for Color Chemistry. (Fun fact: Remarkably, this piece was my second a empt). When it comes to painting or engaging with any a istic medium, cleanliness has always been of paramount impo ance to me. However, as I delved into the process of Color Chemistry, I discovered a newfound sense of liberation. It was an exhilarating and enjoyable experience that taught me the beauty of embracing impe ections. I realized that a doesn't need to be flawless every time; it can thrive in its impe ect nature, and that's pe ectly alright." One Soul (inside cover) by Jenna Meyer '23, A "Creating a has provided me with a way to alleviate anxiety, as well as a means for personal growth and self- exploration. One Soul is my capstone project; when I look at it, I see all the accomplishments and growth of my a career in the past four years. One Soul was inspired by the intersection of self, energy, and soulmates. In One Soul , I aimed to visually communicate that our individual energies are interconnected and can align with others in a way that feels cosmic. To me, One Soul not only depicts the deepest form of relationships and my a istic development, but is also a visual representation of my spiritual progression."
