My name is Megan Leigh Wieczorek and I am an artist based in Wisconsin. I have been called many things and each of them has been true to some extent but I'm going to begin by explaining some things relevant to develop some understanding... I'm a sophomore in college. I strongly believe that art is in the mind not in an ability also that everyone is an artist to some extent but some people chose not to practice, that is our difference. I have an addiction to knowledge and take every given chance to learn more in art and in life. I care deeply for people and love to emphasize that as much as possible in my practice. Just recently I have been doing some soul searching on what it means to do what you love and am still trying to narrow down my findings. The art that I do best is conceptual and I hope that some day, with a great deal of practice, it will make up for my growing abilities. As of now I believe that I will be concentrating in sculpture and painting and possibly be picking up a minor in Human Development and Family Studies. The reason that I chose to use this picture as a representation of my introduction is because I like to emphasize the impact of big events in people's lives and how those events correlate with their art. This picture is a part of my sculptural installation last semester. The project that I did had an incredible impact on the campus in an unexpectedly beautiful way. After seeing my piece there were a number of people that shut me off, both in the art department and on campus. The way that this makes one feel on a regular day is upsetting and I felt it one hundred fold... I hope for their sake, that every student in the art department has a chance to feel in the way that this project made me feel. If I could ask for anything in my life, it would be to find this passion in everything that I do. To this day, no one really knows the true meaning behind my project, and that is fine for me. In all of our lives there will be people who tell us what to believe and what is wrong and right and all of the in between, but I believe that we as individuals need to find our own truths and live in them without any hesitation.
