ADRIANNA RODRIGUEZ

She is colorful like her art and bold as any athlete can be. She cannot be stopped. Anything she does, she does it with passion and courage. She was born with a right club foot, but that still didn’t stop her. Her early life was full of surgeries, casts, and braces, even before she turned a year old. is early disability made walking a struggle for her. She had to learn to walk later than most kids usually do. She had to wear a brace on her right leg up until when she was 9 years old. rst

But seeing her mom run in marathons not only inspired her to run for herself, but to always keep going in life, and not let any obstacles a ect her future. When she was around the age of 6, she ran her rst 5k with her mom. Since then, she has not stopped counting her life in miles.

“My love for running comes from my mom,” Rodriguez said. She joined the cross country and track team in her freshmen year and is still going as a senior. She runs because of her mom and does art because of her dad. She had a great deal of in uence on art and expression from her dad and uncle, who both went to the Rochester Institute of technology

Her style is mostly pop art and illustrations.

Realistic grayscale drawings pose a challenge for her, and though she has done this style in the past, color has a special place in her heart. With a bright and colorful perspective, she loves to play. She likes setting her computer on her dining table with Net ix or a movie on, while she works on her art projects. She usually watches any movie, from action/revenge to chick icks. Her favorite movie to watch is “ e Sandlot.”
