Shortly after moving from Atlanta, GA, to Indianapolis in 2011, Lewis enrolled at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis to pursue a degree in General Studies with the intention of going to the Herron School of Art and Design afterward. In her early 30s, Lewis felt going to Ivy Tech Indianapolis would be a good transition back into school. “I got to meet a lot of different people. I was one of the older people in class

… so, I felt like I had a little more life experience, but I was still new to the art world. So it opened my eyes to different things and viewing art in a different way,” Lewis described. Lewis says that although she was one of a few older students in art classes at Ivy Tech Indianapolis, she learned a lot from her younger peers. “There's always something to learn from everyone. No matter what age they are.
