Fellow VCU Artist

I respect a lot of the artists at VCU, but there aren't really any that stick out in my head. I haven't seen many artists from the other departments, so it's hard for me to pick out one person whom I admire a lot. In that respect I am kind of blocked into the photography department.

Although, Shanna Merrolla(sorry if I spelled the last name wrong)'s work always seems to capture me. There's something about the colors she uses and her composition that really puts me in a weird mood; but I like it. Her style is unmistakable, I can always tell it is her work. Something that also impresses me about her is how passionate she is about her artwork. It's really a process for her and I think it's neat the way she goes about creating her artwork. She's one of the only ones I know of that seems to find beauty in strange things, similar to me but in a much different way at the same time.

So I guess if I had to pick one person whom I really admire, it would be Shanna.
