Good afternoon! I hope that you are all doing well. My name is Riya Aggarwal. I am a senior majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology with a double minor in Art & Design and Sociology of Health and Medicine! If you are new to arts, ink., welcome!! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to indulge me and read what I have to say.
Last year, I presented a newer “Revamped” column where I made the transition into combining my love for art with my commitment to medicine. As it is my final year at the University of Michigan, it is bittersweet for me to present the last iteration of my blog: The Indian Artist, Final Year.
After 3 wonderful years of growing with and expanding The Indian Artist, I am exciting to wrap up the column by reflecting on my undergraduate experience, talk about the exciting next chapter of my life, and continuing to stay true to my Indian heritage and roots. I am in the process of finishing up my biggest art piece to date and cannot wait to share it with you all!
Once again, thank you to new readers for joining me and to all returning readers for continuing to tolerate my subpar writing! I will be posting weekly on Sunday evenings this year. Please feel free to reach out to me or comment if you have any questions, concerns, or thoughts! If you would like to see my work, please feel free to check out my website and follow me on Instagram.
Until next Sunday,
Riya

Hi Riya! I hope your summer went well! It must be so exciting to be about to move on to bigger and better things. With this being more of a reflection, what was your favorite piece or piece you were most proud of during your undergrad? Thanks and I’m looking forward to your posts this year!
Thank you so much for your comment Sally!! I think Payal is definitely the piece that I did in undergrad that i am the most proud of. It pushed me beyond my comfort zone in subject matter, technique, and medium! Thank you for reading!!
