We asked some of the most inspiring folks in the community to tell us where they want to be professionally by the end of their careers.

Isabel Oliva | Artist and Designer

In 2024 I was able to travel to Cleveland, Ohio to participate in the Digital Weaving residency hosted by the Praxis Fiber Workshop to expand my digital weaving knowledge and create new work on the TC2, and right after that I was accepted to participate in the YoungArts Summer Residency for a three month period to focus on my painting practice after having spent so much time on my weavings. I now feel ready to return to my weaving practice again, the paintings inform the weavings, so I would like to travel to another TC2 residency in the near future such as la Residencia BILBE, in Bilbao, Spain, the Icelandic textile center and TEKSTIL LAB located in Norway to further my weaving practice and continue the conversation between drawing and weaving.

Daniel Bell | Financial Professional and Host of The Witty Wealth Workshop

As far as The Witty Wealth Workshop is concerned, the dream is to become the go-to financial resource for families, business owners, and individuals to educate themselves, the people they care about, and their teams. I want it to become a household name, where everyone in the US, eventually maybe even in other countries, can join with the click of a button, and listen to people who genuinely want to put them in a better financial position. A workshop that companies, communities, organizations, etc can invite into their offices to educate their members/teams.  Read more>>

Elena Killgore | Artist

My Dad and I were talking one day when I was in middle school. There was this idea that was surfacing to my mind, simultaneously the same idea came out of my Dad’s mouth. “What if we created a place where people could come and try art.” Years went by of not thinking about it until one day while sitting on the couch at the beach condo it hit me; art isn’t bound to just visual or musical but through many facets. I want to create a space where people can come and create in all creative formats. Art is a way of expression that is tangible to each one of us. I grew up in different creative avenues, from music to visual art. Read more>>
