Emerging Artist Series
Jerome Banks
November 3rd through December 7th 2023
Artist Statement:
“From starting my journey playing D3 football not knowing what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, to transferring to a community college in Harrisonburg, Virginia where I started taking art classes. There I would first get the art bug while taking painting, art appreciation, and ceramics. A little after my first year there, Covid-19 hit which left me at home, and with hours of time on my hands. I started painting which furthered my exploration into art, ultimately leading me to digital art, graphic design, and the University of Lynchburg. The path to creating wasn't always clear, straight, or easy to navigate, but it has been one of the most rewarding & fulfilling things I've ever done ready and I'm excited for the continued journey ahead.”
