While I am usually not an art enthusiast, I found Rose House Fellow Nicholas Carbonaro’s exhibit to be very interesting and different. I thought that the way he portrayed his emotions in the abstract art that he created was not only interesting, but it really expressed his feelings for different events that occurred throughout his life in a unique way.

When he discussed his art with us, Nicholas mentioned how it’s really a way for him to express his creativity and that is an aspect of himself that he hopes to continue to express throughout his life and career. I really admire that dedication as a lot of times, people don’t like to express their creativity because it is either not of the norm or it doesn’t define what is a “successful career.” Myself included, I think a lot of students are so honed in on the idea of what the future will be like for us as career people and so I find it very admirable that Nicholas chooses to explore his future through his creativity. It was a great exhibit!
