You have probably seen her around campus, sketching away so diligently. The mysterious artist is Omaymah Harahsheh a junior at Barnard. I asked what her inspiration was to her beautiful work and she responded:
“We often get too busy with school work that we neglect the beauty we are surrounded by. I never realized how mesmerizing our campus and this city are until I started sketching them. Every pen stroke on my sketchbook is a detail that has a story of a hardworking architect, construction worker, gardener,.. behind it. I’m thankful for my procrastination skills that have led me to unleash my inner artist and appreciate the beauty around me. “
