Michelle Johnson '15 displays her piece "Refined Beauty," using a different technique from her usual charcoal, watercolor and acrylic portraits. To create the portrait, Johnson used pointillism and made the piece monochromatic. "I just wanted a challenge, as it took me about a week of spending two hours a night just putting dots all over the page. Even though it started mostly as an experiment, it turned out to be an interesting piece," Johnson said in an email interview. Photographer: Michelle Johnson '15
