I really like how the mixed media is used in her work and how you can see the time and effort that she put into creating her pieces. i also thought that it was a really interesting location as the pieces catch my eye as I walk to class. the repetition of similar images was interesting as well.

The Art Collective club at Bucknell hosts figure drawing sessions which are open to the campus in Holmes with a nude model.
