Zhehui (Lilith) Zhu
Where are you now and what are you doing?
I am working at a newly founded science and technology company in Beijing China as the general manager assistant.
How did your study of Art and Art History at Ursinus inform your post-graduation perspective?
My experience with the art department at Ursinus was definitely priceless. It made me confirm that art is what I want to do for my whole life.
It is hard to say that my experience with the Art department of Ursinus informs my current job; on the contrary, my job is part of my grand post-graduation plan. I used to believe that if I want to be an artist, I must apply for an MFA program soon after graduating. But after speaking with my art professors, I changed my mind. I do not have the sense of urgency for the MFA program now, because I believe that artists need non-art knowledge and down-to-earth experiences as the soil for their creation.
Although what am I doing now seems irrelevant with art, it will enrich my life experiences and inform my future art creation. My study of Art at Ursinus was a firm start of my art life.
