people God uses to stretch, grow, and transform us all.

At the culmination of my artistic study, I wanted my show to represent what the
college experience meant to me. I know that the growth I have experienced is not
limited to my own story but is true for many others.
The greatest influences during my time at Wheaton have been the people who
make up this community. It’s been through these people that God has impacted
my understanding of him. From the chapel dancer who opened my eyes to another
form of worship, to the professor who demonstrates each day what it means to walk
faithfully with Christ, to the students who portray the power of growth in true
community—this exhibit was designed to remind us of things learned at Wheaton.
The people illustrated here represent growth that has been significant to my
experience, but my hope is that you will be reminded of your own Wheaton story
and the people God has used in your life to teach you lessons along the way.
