I have been hoping to start spotlighting the amazingly artistic community at the University of Rochester, and Jenna was wonderful enough to offer up some of her sketches and things. This is just one person that has amazing ideas and soaring goals which can be read on her face at almost any moment, but who has creativity flowing beneath that is not as often seen; I want to show that creativity that is constantly flowing at the U of R. I was only able to wriggle a short interview for the spotlight, but I feel it is entertaining nonetheless.

Heinz:
So what typically spurs you on to make art?
Jenna:
They're all gifts for other people...
H:
If you make something as a gift, how do you approach it? Do you try to constrain yourself to what they would like, or do you follow what you feel it should be?
J:
Haha usually if they're a good enough friend, I know exactly what they like but it also has some similarities to what I like too, so it ends up being an awesome combination of art and love and quirkiness. Now stop it with the questions!
H:
How does being questioned make you feel?
J:
Like a lab rat injected with quinpirole. Which was actually a great experiment where they induced OCD in rats and the poor things felt awfully anxious and kept checking to see if their doors were locked.
H:
... So would you call yourself an artist?
J:
Hahah get out.
So there you have it folks, the first UR Artistic. See you all next time, and stay classy - Mankind.
