Watercolor and colored pencil by Spencer Daniel
Spencer Daniel
Biography: Hello!
My name is Spencer and I am a third year Marine Studies student here at OSU. The physical environment as well as my lived experiences have always influenced my work. Lately I’ve been exploring how to visualize specific feelings and emotions through color and shape. I hope to incorporate art into my career, but I want to learn more about how our planet works so I can better represent it through art.
Artist Statement: My submissions mostly came from a time in my life where I wanted to feel “grounded” similar to how a plant is connected to the earth through its roots, which is how I connect to this theme. The feelings of indulgence, abundance, and comfort, are very important to me during a stage in my life that seems to be so focused on progress. When I slow down, and try to clear my mind, it’s these grounding moments I think of.
