“Since I was young I have always sought a sense of connectedness with something bigger than myself, and many times this has taken the form of appreciating the natural world and steeping myself in story. I hope Eno can be a place to celebrate the beauty of our planet and its people,and a home to center joy within the broader environmental movement. I firmly believe that art and its unique storytelling abilities can help raise awareness of environmental issues, inspire action, and offer a means to critically reflect on our relationship to the world around us “

“Growing up on the Cuyahoga River, I have always found myself striving to place myself in relationship with the world around me through art. To me, the division between art and science feels unnecessary, as both are based so wholly in observation; in a wish to connect with & understand the world around us. As a writer more than a visual artist, I resonate deeply with Elie Wiesel’s quote “I write to understand as much as to be understood.” With Eno, I’m excited to celebrate the art and understanding formed between our community and the wonder of the natural world.”

“Writing about nature brings me peace and enjoyment – it’s a way for me to practice relating to nature. I’m happy that, through Eno Literary Magazine, we have a beautiful way for students and the community to share different ideas of, perspectives on, and relationships with the more than human world. As long as I’m here at Nicholas, I’d like to be part of that sharing and help support it.”
