It’s a new student feature! This week, we get to feature Serenity Rivera! Serenity is a dual major in Art Therapy and Psychology, graduating in May of 2026. She chose her majors because 2 of her biggest goals in life are to help people and be connected with her art, so choosing Art Therapy and Psychology were the best of both worlds. She learned about art therapy as a major in high school. One of her teachers told her about it, since high school was when she really started getting into her art. Serenity has been most inspired by Prof. Margery Amdur and Prof. Stass Shpanin because of how they both pushed her to do more than what she thought she could do with her art. Part of what makes Serenity and her artwork stand out is the amount of emotion that is in each piece she creates. Each work has a different level of emotion that can be felt by the people looking at her work because she fuels her work with the emotions that she is feeling. We can’t wait to see where her art works take her, and we hope that she is successful in helping in her goals in life!
