My name is Stella McCoy, and I'm a current high school senior from Austin, Texas. Next year, I will pursue the Dual Degree Program at Tufts University, working towards a B.F.A in Studio Art and a B.S. in Cognitive and Brain Sciences. As an aspiring visual artist, I use 2D media to portray my understanding of the world around me through an artistic lens. I use my work to both communicate my current perspection of the world but, more importantly, what I don't know. This has always been a foundational characteristic of my work; to push my views of knowledge, emotional understanding, and in turn, what it means to be human.
