“My name is Victoria Jimenez and I’m a second year student in the College of Fine and Applied Arts. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember and have been painting since high school while I was randomly put into an AP Art course my freshman year. I was overwhelmed by the skillsets presented by the students around me, but it was ultimately the best thing to have happened to me. My art is everything that I am, and everything that I’m not.”
