If you’re lost at the thought of gift giving or just trying to find the most unique present for a person in your life, consider looking to fellow bees for their talents. With Valentine’s Day and many birthdays coming up, a lot of classmates are selling their art or taking commissions.
Madisyn Welborn, a third-year photography major, is selling postcard prints. As a documentary and landscape photographer, Welborn’s inspiration for photography comes from a desire to explore places she’s never been. Welborn said, “I really just love the story an image can tell.” Welborn described her prints as “5×7 film photographs I’ve taken that double as postcards.” Each includes the location of the photo on the backside.

If you are looking for commissioned pieces, look at Kiersten Hebron, a second-year graphic design student. Hebron specializes in commission-based watercolor paintings. You can access the commission link here. Hebron said, “Inspiration for art started as a way to destress.” This quickly made art a passion of hers. If you are interested in a painting of a beloved pet or flower as a gift, look no further.
