![[NAS Studio Feature] We spoke with third year BFA student Maria (@theroadtoalvarado) about her practice and experience returning her NAS Studio.
"My art practice is quite varied – at the moment I am exploring soft sculpture. In particular, replicating Russian animated figures from the 1940s and 50s on a large scale.
It feels very good [to be back]. NAS has an environment like nowhere else, so it was so very nice to see everyone in my class again (especially in person). Being back in the studio, using the workshop, discussing work with teachers was all dearly missed. Glad to be back." – Maria
