Maya and Danny - Arts on Union Student Artists

In the buSYness of life, I want to take a moment to tell you how proud I am of Arts on Union Student Artists Maya Daley and Danny Oakes.

Maya, a photographer, earlier this year, won a national silver metal in the Scholastic Awards competition. She accepted her award in New York City at Carnegie Hall. Her photograph "Sunlit Water" exhibited here at Arts on Union last December.

Danny's show "Resurrecting the Zombi" (that's zombI as in SPIRIT) wrapped up last weekend. Between the spring and August, Danny managed to paint an entire show of acrylic paintings - more than 20.

I am proud of both Maya and Danny for following their dreams, for taking the time and the initiative to advance their artistic skills and to grow as individuals.
