The funding I received from FVL is pretty much the only reason I was able to complete my senior project. After struggling financially, I was finally able to stop worrying about how and where to get my next can of paint, next canvas, next bolt of material, and to focus on creating pieces without sacrificing anything, financially or artistically.
The resulting project is something that I am so proud of, and something that I never would have been able to make had I not received a grant. The grant allowed me to follow through on pieces that I thought would only get as far as an idea or a sketch, and to make the strongest project that I possibly could.
