Art and Art History

I am an undergraduate student from Massachusetts at St. Lawrence pursuing a degree in Art and Art History. Studying Art at St. Lawrence has benefited both my intellectual studies as well as my creative passions. I enjoy most art mediums but am currently concentrated in oil painting. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and assist in my sorority's philanthropy and overall betterment of community on and off campus. I love to be outside including long walks, hikes, or swims through the Adirondacks and Northeast.
