    academic spotlight

    “Art has always been more of a hobby, which I think is a blessing. Like anything, it is all about the amount of time you put into it. It’s exciting to be in competitions and to be entering this program, but art is really just something I enjoy doing. I want to keep it that way.” Lindsay and Kate McConnel '23 on self-discovery, the creative process, and the joy of artistic exploration at Tatnall.
