I am Bethany. Along with art, my interests include books and music. My favorite authors are Neil Gaimen, Flannery O'Connor, and Kurt Vonnegurt. I hate Nicoles Sparks and The Notebook makes me want to punch an infant. I enjoy the acoustic guitar and 4-string banjo, but am lacking ability wise with both. Pedro the Lion, Sigur Ros, and U2 are among my favorite bands. 

I am the middle of three kids in my family. My older sister is a house builder for Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia. My brother is in high school and wants to be an air and space engineer. We had a lot of tree houses growing up.

Coming to the city is cool, but it is really more the opportunities that are present that is the draw to me. I came to Tyler with little direction as to my future, but have found an interest in sculpture or mural art of some sort. One of the highlights of my first semester of school was attending a lecture of artist, Wangechi Mutu.
