The Porter Scholarship will expand my resources and by joining a supportive network will help me mature and legitimize myself as an artist. The Art Gym facilities would allow me to evolve and experiment specifically with scale and quantity. The Art Gym would provide me the freedom to pursue a more ambitious scale and to create inhibited by concerns of crowding my communal living spaces. Specifically, what I hope to accomplish with this new freedom would be a collection of paintings that will be titled ‘I want to understand fire’.
This would be the first of many narrative collections I intend to make. Eventually, I hope to be able to showcase these collections in galleries as well as on my own website. The Porter Scholarship presents a unique opportunity for me to receive the artistic support I’ve longed to be reconnected with and to aid me in realizing my current aspirations as an artist.
