He plans to continue his studies in art, transferring to Kentucky Wesleyan College in the fall of 2018 and has ambitions to work as an illustrator for publications like Marvel. His exhibition includes drawings and oil paintings. Roberts' states, "I've seen improvements in my artwork during my time here at OCTC, both in the 2D and 3D media. I was challenged with things I did not normally work with and new techniques. I feel like these things overall made me become a better artist."


Jacob Wedding is also on track to earn an AFA - Visuals Arts in the summer of 2018. Wedding has exhibited his work in student art exhibitions each semester for the past two years and has had his work included in the Skylark Magazine.

His exhibition includes drawings, oil paintings, and 3-dimensional works.

Wedding stated, "My time at OCTC has been life changing. I am not exactly sure when the change occurred but I do know the people around me at the college had a major impact in my growth. My exhibit consists of subjects that I have always been interested in, particularly sports, as shown through my painting".
