Doing the hard and sustained work is what I gravitate towards but what I seek is to continue to develop the design and painting knowledge that would be given to me by being part of the apprentice program.

Being part of a team, racing against the clock and coordinating with the other departments to bring the big puzzle together on time appeals to my competitive side.

I have always had a passion for film, and feel lucky to have found a path which combines my interests in a way I didn’t realize was possible.

This past year has brought into focus the importance of entertainment and shared creative vision, most especially during times of despair and uncertainty.

Breanne Finneburgh
I thrive in busy shops; bouncing around from project to project while collaborating or working individually to get the job done.

Kate FitzGerrell
I want to work with people who are serious and committed to creating something as a group to a scale that may be impossible with one set of hands.

Bringing my abilities as an artists together with my commitments to the power of hard work and mutual understanding that I cherish gives me overwhelming optimism for the future for my family and myself.

Abbi Meyers-Orr
I’m always observing my surroundings, being curious about the subtle elements that stir up such dramatic reactions in my heart; the way the light hits a wrinkle in soft fabric, or the way the paint is chipping off an old rusted car.

Mariko Numaguchi
I can combine my skills in representational art and physical labor and make a living off of them? Are you kidding me?? Where do I sign?!

Johnathan Olson
I want to be a part of this legacy of art-making, centuries old. I want to be one of many in the collective, making art greater than the sum of its parts by working together.

To take a designer’s rendering and transform it into a full stage painting gives power to space that before held the potential to be anything.

Kerff Petit-Frere
I have an immense respect and love for the arts and I want to contribute to that in a role that will keep me active and allow me to see the efforts of my labor actually become a physical thing people can take part in.

Maria Shinas
What attracted me to scenic art was the fact that a set would just be a skeleton if scenic painters didn't work to transform it, whether it be a plain living room or a castle.

Lea Simoniello
While growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be in a field of study and work that requires me to artistically use my mind and hands.

Shelley Smith
To me the process of making the work is as satisfying as seeing the finished result, whether it be mixing paint colors, editing video footage, or sewing french seams inside of a garment.
