“We make the art world through the community that we build — the community that we have already been building together. Art is who you know.” - Lizzie Windsor #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"I hope we remember our shared BYU experience - the hopes and fears we've all had, the long nights, the tough critiques and quiet, personal victories - and that we continue the tradition of giving back to its future generations." - Clara Swenson #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"In a way, animation has taught me that we are all the product of the hopes, dreams and struggles of each influential person in our lives. Because of them, we become more." - Diego Quintanilla Meza #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

“Art can be a powerful counterpoint to the stagnancy of certainty as it creates space for both the artist and the audience to engage with the unknown.” - Emily White Tousley #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

“Great works take time, and more importantly, we take time. We all have life goals to become more than what we are. It’s going to take multiple drafts to achieve, and there will be joy in that process - the process of becoming.” - Erin Gibson #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

“Whether across the ocean in another land or within the sacred spaces of this campus, our God-given gifts can be a way for each of us to connect with others and become one.” - Makeila Morgan #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"While today marks the end of our BYU education, I have high hopes that each of us will continue to pursue learning and eternal growth from the foundation of knowing who you are and who you want to become." —Linda Hsiung @byudesign #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"I am proud of the work I created in high school, and I am even more proud of the work I have made during my time here at BYU. However, I do not want any of us to stop here." —Linda Hsiung @byudesign #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"I hope that not long from now, I will look back on the work I made during my time here at BYU and cringe. I hope I cringe because it demonstrates that I have grown as an artist." —Linda Hsiung @byudesign #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"Like my student teaching, no single event can be removed without affecting the whole. That which appears arbitrary may be a vital step in the turning of our heats to God." —Kaleb Farar @byuarts #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"[Diagrams] are simplifications of God's plan. [But] they do not include the personal experiences that lead us to God, many of which are entirely unique to the individual." —Kaleb Farar @byuart #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"With a present-centered perspective, I find that joy in life comes from my attitude toward life, and from my relationship with others, especially with God." —Kaleb Farar @byuart #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"Wonder has less to do with a sensation of the sublime, and more to do with the tension, or relationship, between what is tangible and what is immaterial." —Gabriella Warnick @byuart #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"It is one thing to note wonder in already amazing things. It is another thing entirely to find it in unexpected places and to even have a hand in creating it. I consider this to be the work of an artist." —Gabriella Warnick @byuart #CFACGrad #BYUGrad

"Art invites the ambiguity of perspective. It allows us to welcome some fragment of vagueness and to earnestly observe things that may be ordinary under conventional understanding and transform them." —Gabriella Warnick @byuart #CFACGrad #BYUGrad
