    Freshman art major Hayley Limbach was a pleasure to interview. I sat down with her one evening to talk about her inspirations, ideas and way of making art. She is very passionate about art and shows her love for life through her art work. Her artistic talents do not stop with one medium, she enjoys making a great variety of projects, although many consist of mostly drawing and coloring with pencils. Her current masterpiece, as I like to call it, is a memory book for her high school boyfriend who attends a different university. She is drawing and coloring on a blank page, hard cover book, images of them all the way back to the very beginning when they first met. She is doing all these based of her memory, which means the picture will depict a big idea on each page rather than having accurate details. The memory book is in more of a comic book style, so the images are cartoon-like and the words, if any, are inside of shapes and…
