鈥淎rt is something that comes from within you that you reveal and becomes external,鈥� says Cara Lynch 鈥�12.

It鈥檚 a comment that makes you stop and think for a moment, the sort uttered by someone whose primary language is visual, not verbal. Luckily, we have Lynch鈥檚 artworks to provide prime examples of her description. They鈥檝e leaped beyond the walls of studios and galleries to the streets of New York City, where they transform nondescript building facades and traffic barriers into art for the public.

Lynch received a and she at 茄子视频. The highlight of her experience came in 2012, when she was selected as a commissioned artist in the New York City program. She received a grant for her project in 2013, resulting in her aforementioned works being displayed throughout the city.

During her time at Adelphi, she focused both on studio-based works and installations and tried to develop a language between the two.

鈥淭he faculty was excellent,鈥� Lynch said. 鈥淭hey were always willing to go beyond and teach outside the class or talk with you in person. I worked closely with Professor David Hornung and , who still continues to mentor me after graduation.鈥�

Hornung said Lynch was a joy to work with.

鈥淪he was a very dedicated student who was willing to experiment with materials and processes,鈥� he said. 鈥淪he settled on a mode of art making that suited her temperament and came to a fuller understanding of her subject matter and, I am sure, of herself.鈥�

Lynch did several internships during her study, including a gallery internship at the Great Neck Art Center. She said that courses such as Strategies for Emerging Artists helped her during these internships, as she crystallized her knowledge.

When Lynch was queried: 鈥淚s drawing a teachable thing?鈥濃�攁 stereotypical question for artists鈥攕he answered in her own idiosyncratic way.

鈥淚 think you should have a certain amount of interest and talent but you can definitely teach people to draw,鈥� she said. 鈥淭here is something within you, but education helps you to spring that out. Adelphi helped me a lot to spring that out.鈥�

Lynch considers teaching, which she already did in several workshops at Brooklyn and Bronx, as a future plan, and she wants to pursue an M.F.A. in Printmaking. But besides different career path options, the enviable graduate of Adelphi has one thing in her mind.

鈥淢y major life goal is pursuing my work,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hat is more important than everything.鈥�
