The banner artist of this issue is Alyssa Bullock. "I am currently a sculpture major at Herron School of Art and Design, building my arsenal of skills and techniques that span throughout many mediums. I started drawing and painting at a young age, always finding it an easy thing to delve into. The last few years, I have begun experimenting three-dimensionally with wood and metals. For me, the art process has always been very therapeutic in letting me relax and express myself freely. This led me to begin to study Art Therapy, as well, with the intent of pursuing it in a Master's Program."

"Outside of Herron, I am also deeply passionate about performance art and have been a student of Indianapolis' Circus School, Cirque Indy, for about a year and a half. I have performed in a few collaborative pieces with many of the talented artists at Cirque Indy and hope to pursue some solo projects in the near future."

"Whether I am drawing, welding, sanding, or flying on aerial silks, I am happiest when I am creating or sharing the power of the creative process with others."
