Scholarship 2022-2023, 2023-2024
Andrew Bruce embarked on his academic journey at Xavier University of Louisiana in 2022. Passionate about both art and science, he is pursuing a BS in Biology with minors in French, Art, and Chemistry. Bruce hopes that a pre-med track will lead him to his dream of someday owning an art business through which he can communicate with the world as a doctor.
He is committed to continuing to express himself through art and has developed a newfound interest in drawing and painting. His appreciation for painting has grown through recent study, though glass and ceramics are his primary mediums. “Through glass, I aim to portray the essence of life found in nature,” says Bruce. “I find daily inspiration in the animals that inhabit our planet, as they are incredibly complex.” Regarding the wearable glass bow ties he has created, Bruce wants to explore this marketplace and gauge the public’s response to reflective glass as formal wear.
Andrew Bruce graduated from Jesuit High School of New Orleans in 2022. He first joined the YAYA Guild in 2019.
