This summer I explored and researched the relief printing technique of woodcuts through experimentation under the mentorship of Professor Melissa Schulenberg, a renowned master Mokuhanga printer and one of my Senior Honors Project academic advisors. This opportunity allowed me to focus on the development, brainstorming, and artistic process of essential pieces for my Senior Project. By refining my wood printing technique and addressing my experiences as an international student since the age of 17—speaking another language and living out of a suitcase for the past five years—I reflected on and benefited from this experience both professionally and personally. I was able to develop 4 prints that will feature my final exhibition at the end of my Senior year at St. Lawrence.
