  • What things did you accomplish as an Appell Fellow of which you are most proud?

    I am most proud of overseeing Stauffer’s Mural Project. It was my first opportunity to oversee and work alongside students in creating the first project that allowed students to design and create murals that are now hanging in Stauffer’s Cookie outlet. This project helped me learn what it takes to lead, direct, expect the unexpected, and follow through. 

  • How did the Appell Fellowship help you to advance your own goals as an artist and/or help you to advance the arts community in York?

    Working as an Appell Fellow placed me in situations I may not have been in otherwise. It included me in meetings and places that I might not have been otherwise. I had amazing mentors, Ophelia Chambliss, Pamela Hemzik, Matthew Clay-Robinson, and Ry Fryar who helped direct me with my professional development.

  • If you were talking to someone considering applying to be an Appell Fellow, what would you say to them?

    I recommend to all YCP Fine Art and Graphic Designs students to consider the Appell Fellowship. It is an amazing opportunity to focus on growth as an artist, with the support of the local York Community.
