Today Syracuse undergrad, Vavara Mikushkina visited my Time Arts class to talk about her major. As an art photographer, she is able to explore artistic possibilities while being influenced by her family. When talking about her art, Vavara emphasized the importance of following where your art leads you; she explained that dedication is the only way to improve. Part of her presentation consisted of a blog that she keeps up on her own and the other part was some of her portfolio in person. Though she is a photography major, she does not limit herself to just one medium. Vavara urged all of us to seek other media to express our ideas. For example, some of her work includes digital illustration and mixed media murals. The piece that she is holding up in this photograph is an independent project that applied her knowledge from a digital illustration class.

I like the idea of letting your art lead you. Wouldn't it be fun if Grandma did a blog showing her miniatures and how they have developed over the years. Remember how she shrunk me and stuck me in her doll house where I could behave myself? Have you seen the stories she has made for Julia? This gives me lots of ideas.
