The reason I got into Pratt was that LK didn't just know my art — she knew who I was as a student and as an individual. I met LK during my time at an arts semester program in Napa. As soon as I met her, I knew that she would be my teacher long after the semester was over. She balances a personal and professional relationship with all her students, making them feel encouraged, seen, and appreciated. LK’s online class that I took (AP Drawing) was rigorous, yet she always understood our physical limitations with resources, and always offered solutions. The online classes and advising were fairly self motivated yet still encouraged individual growth and independence. I feel confident in saying the reason why I picked and why I got into Pratt, as well as how I got to that decision, was because LK not only knew my art, but also knew who I was/am as a student and as an individual.
