2024 was a pivotal year for me. Leaving my hometown to work as an intern at Anderson Ranch Arts Center put me in an environment I’d been yearning for. Being immersed in a community where everyone is just as dedicated to their craft as I am gave me a new perspective. Not only realizing all that was possible in the art world but also discovering so many new methods of creating. Wrapping up the year now working as a winter assistant for Anderson Ranch, I’m looking forward ward to what 2025 will bring.
