Hi there! As you can see, my name is Shay. I’m a sophomore here at UMass Lowell, in the BFA program for Graphic Design. I eat, breathe, and sleep art, so if you have any questions about the art program, feel free to ask! I also practically live on South Campus [seeing as I’m a SC major], so if you see a red-head wearing lots of plaid, feel free to say hi. 🙂 Currently, I’m starting my design courses, and I’m also taking a Photography I course which has turned out to be awesome so far.

In my free time, I love going to shows. I have several friends who have their own bands, and they’re AMAZING. My favorite bands of all time include: A Skylit Drive, Circa Survive, Minus the Bear, Attack Attack!, and The Devil Wears Prada, just to name a few. As Chris mentioned, you can find shows just about anywhere. The TUMC in Tewksbury is a popular venue, as is Rocko’s up in Manchester, New Hampshire [about a half hour or so from Lowell].

Keep your eyes peeled for gallery showings on South as well. The Lowell Friends of Photography recently opened an exhibit in the Dugan Gallery [located in the basement of Dugan Hall], so check that out if you get a chance!

Peace out!
