Joanna is a Visual Arts major, and an intern in the art department at Catonsville High School. She will be exhibiting her work: "Portraits: An Exploration of the Human Spirit" at Virtual URCAD 2020!

Artist's Statement:

My goal in creating a piece of art is to convey the truth that lies in beauty. My focus in my work is creating solid forms and expressing rhythm in the face and the body. My style is a mix of realism and impressionism. I work primarily with charcoal and oil paint, but I am also adept at working in digital media and 3-D design. My medium and approach are often seen as traditional, but I desire to show the sacredness of nature and humanity. I am always in a state of learning. My approach is to constantly re-invent and conceptualize the way I see things. My work, as a result, has a life of its own and a sense of balance.

Come see Joanna's artwork and other undergraduate research and creative work , April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!
