I’m excited to get to know Pittsburgh. My work is often influenced by the places I spend time in, and the communities I engage with. There are so many creative resources in Pittsburgh, and I’m excited to be introduced to them through the Residency. Whether I’m participating in workshops or meeting members of the arts community, I’m curious to see how the city influences my work.
