MACKENZIE YARBROUGH is a student at UNC Greensboro. With a longtime passion for art, especially watercolor illustrations, she has recently uncovered a penchant for paper-mâché creations. This medium has allowed her to create sculptures that translate her illustrative style into three-dimensional concepts, including cloud sculptures that exude the same sense of whimsy and playfulness conveyed in her illustrations.
