I am an engineering student at Ferris State University, in Big Rapids, Michigan. Art will always be a passion of mine, but I'm also very mechanically minded. I have an associate degree in CAD Drafting and Tool Design Engineering Technology, and am working towards a bachelor degree in Product Design. In my spare time I enjoy sketching, painting, road trips, and good food. I'm very excited to be a part of Art Prize, as I have never tried entering before, but have always admired it as a viewer. I decided I wanted to challenge myself as an artist by painting on a larger canvas than I ever have before, and on a shorter timeline. It was challenging, but quite exciting, too. I'm so excited to see my work displayed in Grand Rapids.
These are Mikala's official ArtPrize entries from this year and past years.
