I’d like to thank Ptarmigan Arts and the Homer Foundation for awarding me with the Ptarmigan Arts Visual Arts Scholarship. By doing so, you are greatly enhancing my opportunities in the world of art and creation, and I am genuinely grateful for this honor. Thank you again, and I hope that I can create something wonderful with the help of this scholarship.

Also, I’d like to give a huge and humble thank you to the Tin Roof fund and the Homer Foundation for awarding me the Alain and Daniel Reiser Scholarship. With the help of this award, I will have opportunities to travel and explore that may not have been accessible for me before. I am deeply grateful for this award, and look forward to the experiences it will help me create.
