"I have been working on how to bring my full self to a project, not just fill an assumed role, and to trust myself. I'm still figuring out what that all looks like; it's ongoing work but feels impactful to me personally."

"I think the unique nature of the Core Company consisting of passionate humans from various disciplines of Art is hyper-appealing."

"[The thing that has made the biggest impact on my creativity as an artist is] learning to let go of fear of failure but this continues to be an ongoing process."

"I love being saturated in the minds of these fellow [Core Company] artists. I enjoy the respectful dialogue and the fusion that ensues from our meetings. I am honestly so excited to learn from them and to share my art with them."
