A young artist under the persuasion of her role model finds what being an artist truly means: “Being an artist doesn’t mean you have to be good. Being a good artist is drawing what you feel and how you express yourself,”Said Swack. We continue this statement by feeling what’s inside us it is then we find peace with art. Does art find itself within us, or do we find ourselves within art? the answer to that is they’re the same question just put in different words of a sentence. People find art to be more independent but the truth is it’s not private at all””

Rachel Swack ‘23 goes deep into her love about art”” Her source for this came from her family  and one of her friends Melissa Uc ”23 “”I have been into art since I was seven years old”” Swack said.  Swack found her love of art doing art classes her family took her to.  Swack’s mom took her to this Art formantory when she was young and told her that she’s going to take classes there. As a backup plan Swack informed about her other dreams in life as a result she hopes to become an animator like Pixar. She said her friends had made a big impact on A lot of interest she’s known for today, for instance, soccer, and swimming has a big achievement in her life.” If you could go through rough waters with someone and they’re still there that values much loyalty in friendship” Swack used this quote of her interest in swimming.
