Erin Gross is a current second year student at the University of Maine. Majoring in studio art, Erin is a very artistic and enthusiastic individual. A native of Maine, Erin enjoys the University of Maine campus and the friends she has made. “I love the outdoors and the opportunities this campus has for outdoor activities.” Erin adds when explaining her cross-country ski journeys she takes with her roommates at least once a week.
One thing Erin struggles with is the cold, she claims “Being way up north not by the ocean is hard for me!” As many students complain about the cold, the wind is also another factor that Erin does not like about the University.
When asking Erin one of the most memorable moments she has had on campus this year, she responded with a heart-warming story. During a warm fall walk through the woods with one of friends, they came across a struggling bird that had been hurt bad and couldn’t move. In a panic Erin and her friend called the local animal rescue and ended up saving the birds life.
Interviewing Erin I learned a lot about her and her life at the University of Maine. She talked a lot about her art classes and her recent works. Last semester she finished her painting class series. In that class she created many self portraits and portraits of others. She said painting is her favorite medium and is a great break from her book studies. “I have a very sophisticated style. I wear a lot of black.” Erin explains that her attraction to black comes out in her everyday outfit choices and also in her artwork. She finds her self-drawn to works done in black and white, such as interesting photography and sketch drawings. She plans to continue on in the art series at the University of Maine and eventually end up working in design.
