“I went through a lot of changes in my four years at UVM. Those changes were all reflected in my art as I started to just create things that make me happy or remind me of things I love about myself.”

"I am an avid artist, writer, and community organizer. Taking all of my interests and experiences and mixing them with Student-Made has given me the opportunity to more consistently engage with my art-making practices while in school."

“I had to really sit with myself and understand that there is no clear road path. Obviously there have been thousands of successful artists, but every single one has done it differently So it’s just about learning how you can do it, and how you can get better at it every single day.”

“I no longer burden myself with producing work for the spectacle. Instead, I pour a bit of myself into everything I make in order to bring joy to my supporters, whom I do not chase nor beg for recognition. I revive old materials that would otherwise find themselves in a landfill. In essence, each of my customers receives a sculpture that adorns their body.”

“I have considered myself an artist for some years now, but it was not until I joined the Student-Made community, that I held a new sense of inspiration and excitement for the craft that I love!”
