Samaya Porter

This is Samaya Porter. I am heading into my senior year as a drawing and painting student at the University of Georgia. I will be getting my Bachelors of Fine Arts in the spring of 2026. I also plan to graduate with a certificate in museum studies. I have deeply enjoyed my time at school and hope to do even more art related work outside of college. Throughout my time in school, I have been on the Deans List and been named a Presidential Scholar. Last summer, I participated in the UGA Cortona, Italy study abroad program. In my time there, I learned so much about painting and art history. In the future, I hope to do more studying abroad and work in museums across the country. I’m excited to see where the coming years lead me!
