Michael Markwick is an artist originally from Michigan and now resides in Germany. His work reflects his childhood growing up in the Midwest. He recently came to Lyon college and critiqued our work. He gave us feedback and guidance in our artwork. One evening, he spoke at an artist talk. He was showing slides of his pieces and explained what they meant to him. My family is also from Michigan and as he was sharing his experience I had similar memories. Something inside my heart clicked with my brain and in that very moment, I realized that I too am an artist. A single tear flowed down my cheek. I realized why I was born. I was born to create, imagine, and believe. I'm so grateful that I was there that night, I could have missed the aligning of stars.
