Titled, “Look Closer,” various pieces were highlighted from senior art majors who were given creative freedom among their classes. Ranging from a sticker vending machine to a wall filled with controversial news headlines, students explored many different art forms to define this year’s theme.

Katherine Simpkins, aka "Kat", is a senior from Adrian, MI. She is majoring in Sociology and minoring in Educational Studies. Her passion for journalism started at an early age when she picked up her camera and started seeing life from a different perspective. In her free time, you can find Kat snuggled up next to her cat, Phoebe; named after the best "Friends" character. You can contact her at KCS11@albion.edu.
It’s Hope Wolthuis. You spelled it wrong.
