Wrapping up Graduate Student Appreciation Week, we are highlighting fiuart student, Melina Tsalikis. Tsalikis is earning her Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts with an emphasis on drawing and painting. Passionate about her craft, Tsalikis said, “I love that my program facilitates my growth as an artist! I feel empowered and inspired every time I go into my studio and look at all the work I have created during my first year as a graduate student. I also love that earning my MFA puts me one step closer to achieving my career goals - I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to earn a degree doing what I love, especially since I have the support of my family, my cohort, and the Art + Art History faculty.” #graduatestudentappreciation #gsaw22 #fiugraduatestudents #fiucarta #fiuart
