Tell us about yourself! 
I am a native Vermonter, studying to become a studio artist. I enjoy all sorts of learning, creating, and exploring. I particularly love spending time outside and being around people whom like to laugh.

What is(are) your medium(s)?
At the moment they are printmaking (intaglio and relief) and other 2-d drawings, acrylic painting, clay, and wood.

How did you hear about Sable?
I worked with Otto’s sister, Lucy, at a farm this past summer. She told me about Sable and when I looked into it I thought it was a wonderful and beautiful place that I would love to live and learn about it.

What inspires you to make art?
I think everything around me inspires what I make, particularly landscapes and nature, lines and movement. I find that people inspire much of work as I often include faces or bodies. Sometimes it’s a particular thing that I see (in life or in my head), but sometimes it is just some sort of feeling/thought that I can only explain with an image.

What is your spirit vegetable and why?
My spirit vegetable is an eggplant. Although it was given to me on the field crew at the farm I work at, I believe it to be because of an eggplants slightly weird but comforting manner, and their surprising versatility as a vegetable.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
If I could have one superpower it would be to make everyone thoroughly listen. People like to hear themselves and decide to be ignorant. Of all the disasters on this planet, they could be changed and bettered if people thought critically and opened their mind to different ways of thinking.
