Carrington Turner

College: University of Texas at Austin

Rowlett, TX

Through my creations, I want to tell the stories of others who are like me and show the insight of life through the lens of a black female. I hope that people can see the humanness in my objects and subjects and understand that no matter how boring or common the experience feels, there is a story behind and that there is life there.

Nina Chang

College: Rhode Island School of Design

Cheshire, CT

I find it so joyful that I can create something that is uniquely mine and have the power to imagine something that never once existed and bring it to reality with a stroke of a brush.

Marcella Sanchez

College: Rhode Island School of Design

Bellerose Village, NY

I was never the kid that could always express my feelings or thoughts verbally, but I was always able to show what I thought through my art. Whether it was a drawing to show how I was feeling that day, or a macaroni collage of my cat, I could always depend on art to help me express myself.

Zachary Wyland

College: Juniata College

Hollidaysburg, PA

Art is my passion. Drawing captivates me because there are an infinite number of possibilities for creativity. I enjoy experimenting with my techniques, so it is never boring or repetitive. I find myself trying new ways to create contrasting mediums, textures, saturations, and so much more.

Martin Mbuguah

College: Maryland Institute College of Art

Fort Wayne, IN

My art is rooted not only in that aspect of giving but the land my family comes from, the culture of Kenya and its history are rich with story and fable, these stories coated the minds of my ancestors never dying over the course of centuries as they were passed down from one to the other, this sort of immortality bred in custom and culture is what influenced me to create this large story.
