Inside the Program

Painting student displays culture through her art

As a studio arts major with a painting concentration, you have the opportunity to express culture in new ways.

As a master's student, Alicia Daniel's work involved the concept of expatriation and explored the idea of leaving one's homeland and emigrating, adapting and thriving in another in order to form a new identity.

Her work, which focuses on the vibrant colors inspired by the art often seen in Barbados, was exhibited in the "Things Could Get Messy: Artists Supporting K-12 Art Programs" exhibition at the Reuben Saunders Art Gallery in Wichita.
