Maryam's Story

My passion is studio art.

I remember the feeling of winning an award in elementary school for one of my first artworks. I was not ecstatic about the prize but of the feeling of success. As I grew and dedicated myself to art on my own, I joined an art class. In this simple amateur art class, I was amazed by the different art forms and overwhelmed with excitement. My art teacher, Ms. Derosa, recognized this, and even when I was no longer able to attend the class she visited me often. Her confidence in me further inspired me to continue with my passion.

My passion will be developed at the Cooper Union Summer Art Intensive through the exposure to new techniques and materials I can use. I feel that the new techniques I can learn from the faculty of artists will enhance my artwork, which is primarily self-taught as of now. With some guidance, I am confident that this program will only help me excel in my future. Lastly, the visits to major museums and galleries will help me expand my artistic view.

A Note from Ms. De Rosa, Maryam's Teacher

"I have know Maryam for six years as her teacher, tutor, and mentor. In all of these educational connections, Maryam has been one of the most dedicated and passionate students I have taught in my thirty years of as an Art Educator.

Maryam has a unique perspective and viewpoint, which is the hallmark of a studio artist. The high standards and intense approach of the Cooper Union Summer Art Program would enable Maryam to expand upon her highly promising abilities and uniqueness."
