Sarah Melin

What can I say? I’m more than just an artist here. I’m a sister, I’m a friend, I’m someone to look up to. If you’re having a bad day I’ll be there for you. If you’re feeling down you can talk to me. That’s why I’m here, not only at NCA but everywhere.

As an artist I put in a lot of detail and passion into my work. I put a lot of thought into my pieces and I our my heart and soul into them. I have a real eye for detail although not everything can be perfect. I have a saying, “Don’t try doing something perfectly perfect, if perfectly imperfect is the best you can do.” If there’s anything you should know about me, it’s the fact that I’m actually related to King Alfred the Great, and I am a direct descendant of one of the Bekins Brothers, the same Bekins Brothers that started the moving company. Here’s another thing–I can paint a picture in your mind with words. I tend to have that effect on people. I don’t have a favorite class but I will say that I absolutely love video production class. Time is an interesting thing, it only exists in the mind and yet we all use it on a daily basis. Why does it even exist in the first place? Time is an illusion, it’s not real. If it’s not real then why is it talked about so much? What if there was no such thing as time? Then the whole planet would be a better place. A better place with peace and love.
