Internship at Maryland Art Place

I had the pleasure of interning for Maryland Art Place this past summer. With this internship, I sharpened my administrative skills in newsletter design, social media promotion, writing, program research and photography! My installation photographs for “Painting in Parts” was published in the catalog for the exhibit! Above you can see a preview of one of my photos in the catalog.
