Over the summer, Mallory Ward left home expecting to impact the lives of Haitian orphans, but little did she know they would leave such an impression on her.

Ward spent a week working in the Holt Fontana Village, playing with the children and working around the grounds.

“For once I didn’t care about the messiness of the job. I just wanted to get it done and help the village,” Ward said. “It was a first for me with every task, I had never used a pick ax, and trust me, it was noticeable too.”

The office was covered in an array of drawings, paintings and sketches. Her desk was a little messy, but in an artistic way. Artist Laura Mongiovi, art professor at Flagler College, fiddled with some papers as she considered what it was that had led her to become an artist.

“It was something I always knew I wanted to do. It was curiosity about experiences, freedom with imagination and how things come about. Curiosity links directly to what I do today,” she said.

Mongiovi, originally from Tarpons Spring, Fla, relocated to University of Colorado Boulder for graduate school. After she made her way back to the sunny coast of Florida, she settled at Flagler College to balance both her teaching career and her artistic one.
