Roshni Misra (’24)

Roshni Misra (’24) said growing up with an interior designer and a fellow artist in her household inspired her to develop her passion for art. Through oil paintings and sculptures, Misra said she can express her voice and unwind as well as learn to accept mistakes through permissive materials such as oil paint.

“In art, if you make a mistake in an oil painting, it’s such a malleable medium that you can just go over or wipe out what you want,” Misra said. “My art teacher always tells us that it’s really nice to see iterations of your artwork through final pieces. It’s okay if there’s a sketch in the background, it’s okay if there’s a brushstroke that you repainted over. That just makes it more interesting and beautiful.”
