Sharing a look from our visit with our top recipient from the Winter 2025 grants, , Carolina Otero.
Carolina welcomed us in and shared her work, giving us a glimpse into her process and the thinking behind each piece. Her practice moves across collage, printmaking, photography, and sculptural work, where materials and marks come together in a way that feels both intuitive and deeply considered.
Her work feels like a quiet dialogue. Layers, fragments, and gestures build over time, creating compositions that reflect memory, perception, and lived experience. There is a sensitivity in what she creates. Each piece feels deliberate yet open, as if it is still in conversation with the world around it. We are honored to support Carolina and grateful we had the chance to experience her work in person. 💗
This visit marks the final of our Winter 2025 recipient studio tours. We are grateful to each artist for opening their doors and sharing their work with us!

So excited to share a look from our visit with one of our Winter 2025 Grant recipients, , Chayse Sampy. We met Chayse at where she shared her work and gave us a glimpse into her practice. Her work builds through layering, pulling from images, memory, and material to create pieces that feel both personal and connected to something larger. There is a depth to what she creates that reveals itself over time. The more you look, the more you begin to notice the relationships between elements, the way each piece holds meaning beneath the surface. Her work stays with you. It has a presence that feels both grounded and powerful. We are honored to support Chayse and grateful we had the chance to experience her work in person.

So excited to share a look inside the studio of one of our Winter 2025 Grant recipients, , Jessica Phillips.
Jessica invited us into her studio and shared a glimpse into her practice and the space where her work comes to life. There is a real sensitivity to material in what she does, a balance between structure and instinct that allows each piece to evolve while still feeling intentional.
Her work feels both refined and deeply thoughtful. It carries a quiet presence that draws you in and stays with you, revealing more the longer you spend with it.
We are honored to support Jessica and truly grateful she welcomed us into her studio!
