Lily Linehan
Waterloo High School Senior
My name is Lily Linehan, and I am a senior at Waterloo High School. I am continuing to further my education at SUNY Oneonta, where I will be an Art and Design major, working in the BFA program. After college I plan to go into the business as a tattoo artist. I want to continue painting and drawing on the side or as a second career. Teaching art is also a possibility. Since my years in middle school, I have always been very involved in the art classes my school offers. I started taking Studio Art in my freshman year, my sophomore year I took Drawing 1 and 2. During my junior year I started taking more advanced art classes which included an Independent study class as well as Painting 1 and 2. This year as a senior I chose to continue taking an Independent class, along with taking Ceramics. These classes have taught me craftsmanship, observational skills, and spacial dimension; and they continue to push me to go outside of my comfort zone.
I am inspired by emotion when it comes to art, I experiment with different feelings. I often take a song I love and recreate what it looks like to me. I also love drawing and painting the human form, I get inspiration from how different and beautiful each one is. As for material, mixed media pieces really motivate me; I love mixing materials and “breaking the rules” when it comes to art.
To summarize my art, I would say its “human”. Every piece, no matter how different they may look, all circle back to the human experience, and what it is like to live each day.
New members are always welcome!
