The perks of being a biology student at GU is that we have access to some of the most amazing opportunities in the world (seriously)! For example, I spent eight hours at the Clarkia, Idaho fossil site. The site is considered one of the richest fossil beds in the world and most of the fossils contain organisms that went extinct 20 MILLION YEARS AGO! I know that I only found leaves but still, these are amazingly well preserved!

Four years of living in the studio has led to this moment: the Senior Art Exhibition! Myself and five other extremely talented students have been slaving away to make ourselves look professional enough in the art world. Did we do it? In past years, students have fought to the death to have their piece be front in center at the Jundt Art Museum. This group was too nice to each other so I came up with the idea that we would present the aprons that we worked in all year. Mine is the top left. It might be less colorful but it fits my personality :) I also got to design the poster for the show. Thank you YouTube for the how-to guides on Photoshop and InDesign these past four years. It didn't click that I was finished preparing for the show until my work was hung in the gallery and lit. Thank you to everyone that came to the opening reception! It was one of the greatest experiences of my undergraduate career!
I had the honor of going to SGCI, the printmaking conference with my professor, Mary Farell and two amazing classmates, Becca and Shannon. While it might not have been the most helpful "demonstration" for my style of printmaking, the steam rolling printing was by far the most entertaining! Underneath that monster of a machine is a sheet of plywood, a slab of foam, an inked up sheet of metal cut into a fun design, and finally the paper at which they are printing on! Even though we went to about a dozen galleries, I might have taken more pictures of the ridiculously amazing food in Portland, Oregon! The meal with the egg on top was this mixture of fried potatoes, burnt cheese, onions and peppers topped with an over-fried egg. I have to say that I ate the entire thing and could have eaten a bucket (the technical term, I'm sure) more!
