The following blog posts were written when I served as an Artist-in-Residence and Administrative Support Coordinator in Institutional Advancement at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. Writing has always been a passion of mine. It was such a wonderful experience to have the opportunity to write these stories for a place and community that is very near and dear to my heart.
