Whenever I see my own work in a show I somehow feel full of pride while simultaneously wanting to avoid the spot light as much as possible. This feeling really hasn't evolved much throughout my journey as a BFA but what has changed is my ability to talk about my work when I am asked about it. Each painting I create helps me to solidify what I'm trying to get at in my work which makes it a lot easier to talk about my work without prepping a two paragraph statement printed out for people to reference.
Not only seeing my own work in the gallery, but also all the work of my peers around it is also an amazing feeling. Being so deeply immersed in the art world is a blessing. We're all able to talk about our work in how it relates not only to us personally but also in a big-picture sense. We're able to share techniques and ideas with each other. What I think is the coolest part is that I get to see my peers grow and develop as artists and I get the privilege of knowing them before they "become somebody" in the art world.
