September 2022 Student Artists
Alexander Aubry
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
My work is concerned with observational and life painting. When observing from life, I often focus on figures, scenes, still lives or landscapes to paint and draw. I also work from imagination and memory. I am going into my senior year of the PAFA BFA program.


Eloise Avery
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
The VT fields forests streams ponds mountains winding roads and inspiring vistas of summer inspire my work. My loose brushstrokes evoke the drama I see around me. The daily toil of farm work and my need to paint balance each other. I’m needed for the farm to thrive and I paint so that I may thrive.


Michael Ballezzi
Studio Incamminati
Advanced Fine Art Program at Studio Incamminati. Representational Art. Figurative and Portrait.


Megan Barnes
The University of The Arts
My work consists of colorful acrylic paintings usually of animals, landscapes or people. I am pursing a BFA with a focus in Painting.


Taylor Brown
Rowan University
I am pursuing the studio art major at Rowan University and will be going into my senior year this fall. I enjoy painting, drawing, and sculpture. I use a vast majority of mediums to create work that I’m inspired by.


Graham Cuddy
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
I just completed my degree at PAFA where I received a BFA in painting. My work is currently focused on the grid. I draw inspiration from its simplicity, complexity, and all the ways it can be used. The grid is found in many aspects of life, and I attempt to translate these into works of art.


Holly Dudley
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art
I am a Painting major at the Pennsylvania academy of fine art. I primarily work in oil painting, drawing, and monotype printing.


Jay R Harris
Rowan University / Studio Incamminati
I am pursuing a B.F.A in Studio Art through the Atelier program offered in by Rowan University in conjunction with Studio Incamminati. My work mainly centers around the idea of vaporware aesthetic, experimental work with oil paints, and pushing the limits of chroma.


Anna Hoppel
University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
I am an oil painter, working on large scale paintings that use high-key colors and dramatic contrasts to explore my perception of place. I am pursuing a joint BFA at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania, as a Painting major, Art History minor.


Henry Kagan-Rowe
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
I am pursuing a degree in printmaking. During my time at PAFA I have also become interested in painting and sculpture. I like working with bold shapes and colors, and depicting scenes and emotions from reality in a more dramatic, or often humorous way.


Justin Kapp
Studio Incamminati School for Contemporary Realist Art
I graduated from Studio Incamminati’s Advanced Fine Art Program this past May. I enjoy painting portraits and figures, and have been moving in the direction of working larger and incorporating a looser handling of paint in certain passages.


Eva Kozlowski
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
I love working from life, and capturing the sensation of light in my paintings. Telling a story through an image allows for infinite possibilities. The excitement lies in creating any world I want in my work, and sharing it with others creates an even greater excitement.


Liz Lippman
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
I struggle with mental health issues that often make me feel isolated, and art is the truest way I can express these feelings. I work figuratively, in order to capture a person’s individual self and put it on paper. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree, with a major in printmaking.


Keshawna Logan
University of the Arts
Keshawna Logan is a senior at the University of the Arts pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Logan is interested in large-scale oil paintings, Screen printing, and mixed media projects. She employs color and collage and creates abstract interpretations of environmental spaces.
