“I earned an Associate Degree in Commercial Art in 1988 right here at what was then known as Chowan College, a two-year junior college. Since my decision to further my degree in art, I have enjoyed the challenge of learning a variety of new techniques and processes. I am very fortunate to have been able to study under the wonderful , talented, and highly acclaimed art professors here at Chowan University.”
