Truth in detail
Posted: February 25, 2010M.P.H. student Angela Moayedpardazi was born and raised in Arizona and has been drawing since she was a child.
Although she doesn’t have any formal training, she became interested in painting when a high school art teacher gave her oil paint supplies to take home at the end of her junior year.
“I try to paint something at least once a year, but with a family and school it’s hard to fit it in,” she says. “I think my urge to render something from idea to canvas comes from observing things around me – shapes, textures, colors, and details in people’s faces. Observing details is not only the basis of my abilities in art, but it is probably why I am interested in science and research as well.”
