Tracy Echais
Exploring Memory and Cultural Identity Through Oil Painting: A Proposal for Supplies
The cost of oil paints and necessary materials is a significant barrier. To fully immerse myself in this new medium, I am requesting funding for mainly for good-quality oil paints. I already own brushes and the class provides me with gamsol and canvas paper, so all I require at the moment would be larger tubes of paint.This funding will enable me to practice and refine my skills outside of class, helping me push my artistic boundaries.
Xingchen Liu
Homelands in Exile: A Photographic Exploration of Longing and Diaspora
I am an interdisciplinary artist working in film and photography, with a focus on themes of identity, migration, and the ephemeral nature of belonging. *Homelands in Exile* is a photographic exploration of longing, diaspora, and the shifting notion of home in the modern age. This project will use portrait and landscape photography to interrogate how identity is constructed, perceived, and, at times, erased.
Lucas Piette
Upgrading my DJ and Music Production Setup
I am seeking funding in order to purchase a pair of studio monitors. While I haven’t decided on the exact kind, I will be looking into what the WTJU/WXTJ uses in the studios and what recommendations I can gather from professors/professionals and online.
Reese Robers
Advancing Knowledge of Analog Filmmaking
I am requesting funding through the Miller Arts Spring 2025 Minigrants to advance my knowledge of filmmaking using analog film and vintage analog cameras. My request covers the funding needed to purchase course materials for my Cinematography class as part of my Filmmaking major as well as a chance to experiment outside of my coursework using a similar medium.
Helen Sparling
Exploring daily life through oil painting
I am a painting major. I am currently in a painting independent study in order to expand on the work I completed last semester. This body of work is based on photographs I have taken, and is characterized by loose washes of color and undisguised brushstrokes. As I continue this body of work during the Spring semester, I plan to further develop a mode of painting that captures the atmosphere and emotion of people and the spaces they occupy.
Larina Yu
Exploring Traditional Asian Printmaking Techniques
While exploring woodcut techniques, I came across the traditional Japanese mokuhanga techniques. This involves painting water-based ink onto the raised surface of a woodcut (rather than rolling), and hand-printing these woodcuts onto thin, Asian-style paper. I would like to specifically explore this technique, so that I can combine the knowledge that I have learned in class with the information I have researched on Asian-style techniques to further enrich my printmaking. This would require particular paper, a fabric/bamboo baren, and specialized carving tools and ink bases/pigments.

Carly Ault
Realizing My Dad and I’s Relationship through Color Large Format Film
I’ve grown up surrounded by my Dad’s work, and only since coming to college have I realized the influence he has had on my creative process and drive to make something out of nothing. He is primarily a welder, and makes sculptures for fun, but also built my house and a dock for our river access. In the same way I am inspired by his work, I have realized that our creative projects have also become our main form of communication. By photographing my dad, his sculptural work, and built environment with the large format camera, I am able to both work alongside him and visually depict how I see him with my own physical practice.
Jesper Braley
Starting an Indie Animation Studio
By the end of this spring semester, I am planning on forming an indie animation studio with my friends. We plan on producing a full animated short by the end of this year, with our pre-production (script writing, character design, storyboarding, and visual development) finished and available for display before the end of the Spring 2024 semester. To assist with communication as well as provide a way to record voice clips for our characters, I am requesting a headset with an attached microphone. Additionally, the main program I use to animate and draw—Clip Studio Paint—requires an annual payment of $71.99. As we are going to produce our own musical score, I am also requesting a talkbox to give our soundtrack a more unique sound.
Zoe Edelman
Funding an Arts Trip to New York City
As a current student of Introduction to Cinematography II, I am planning to join my class on a trip to New York City. This trip is from March 28th to March 31st of 2024. While I have not been provided with an exact itinerary yet, the current plan is to drive up on the 28th and back on the 31st. On Friday the 29th we are going to go to the Whitney Biennial to view the new exhibitions, as well as meet some of the artists. On the 30th we have plans to meet more artists and go visit their studios and speak with them about their works. As part of this trip my class is staying at an Airbnb in New Jersey. I am requesting this minigrant to help support this trip by paying for my stay at the Airbnb and some additional fees to get in and out of the city.
Jolinna Li
Sound and Editing Equipment for Narrative Film Projects
For my cinematography class final project, I have written a script and will be directing and editing a 10 minute narrative short film this semester. The film is based on both the myth of Persephone and a Taiwanese folktale, retold in a feminist lens. In order to create film projects like this, I need to be able to store all of the footage and process up to 4k footage.
Grace Sellers
Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription
I am asking for $500 to pay for a two year subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. This will allowme access to photo editing software such as Photoshop and Lightroom. I am currently enrolled in ARTS 2112 which covers digital photography. We are able to use Adobe Creative Cloud on the UVA computers in the digital photography studio at Ruffin Hall, however we do not have access to the Adobe Creative Cloud through personal computers. This means that we are limited to completing our work only at Ruffin Hall. With access to the Adobe Creative Cloud on my personal computer, I will be able to practice and improve my photo editing skills, and continue to do so after the semester has ended. The skills I will learn with Photoshop and Lightroom will be marketable towards many graphic design jobs, allowing me access to more career opportunities.

Carly Ault
Making Silver Gelatin Prints and Building Frames for My Upcoming Photography Show
I am requesting support to help me purchase materials to complete my darkroom prints, build frames, and install the show.
Zoe Edelman
Expanding Tufting Options with More Machines
I am requesting this minigrant to help fund the additional expenses to this project. I am obtaining my tufting materials through Tuft The World, the tufting group I have been taking classes with so I am familiar with their machines.
Jolinna Li
Equipment and Props for Graduate School Short Films
I am currently in the process of applying to Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programs in Film, and part of the application requirements for several of these institutions involves creating original short films based on specific prompts.
Lucas Piette
WXTJ House Show Film: Super 8, 16mm, and Embodied Audio
My plan is to purchase four rolls of film to supplement the stock I already own, send out the film for processing at a lab, and scan the film myself at the Clemons G-Lab.
Grace Sellers
Painting Supplies for Learning about Color
I am asking for $500 for painting supplies so that I can learn more about how color theory works. I am a Studio Art major with a Printmaking concentration.
Jaclyn Wang
Exploring the 3D Digital Media-scape
As a visual artist who has worked all my life in a two-dimensional form, I am increasingly excited in seeing the potential of digital art. One form of this is 3D printing.
Xueer (Shirley) Zhang
Capturing Calmness through Oil Painting
This semester, I am enrolled in Advanced Painting I with Professor Neal Rock, where I am developing a series of oil paintings that delve into the serene beauty of everyday domestic scenes. My goal with this project is to take a significant step beyond my focus on realism and explore a more atmospheric approach to painting.
Spring 2023
Todd Benson
Exploring Memory in Figurative Oil Painting
I am applying for funding for oil paints and other painting materials so I can continue experimenting with themes of memory in figurative oil painting.
Hyebin Lee
Humanity Through the Lens
I mainly work with cinematography and videography. However, I want to expand my �eld to photography as well. I have been experimenting with taking portraits or candid pictures of people in my community. Some turned out good, while others did not. One major challenge I repeatedly faced was too much light exposure, especially if the picture was taken outside during the day. This challenge can be easily overcome by using lens �lters like neutral density �lters and polarizers. These �lters reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens, so good exposure can be achieved without increasing the aperture.
Fall 2023
Todd Benson
Exploring Memory in Figurative Painting
I am applying for funding for oil painting and other supplies so that I continue my personal exploration of themes memory in figurative painting.
Jesper Braley
Lightbox Expo Convention: Preparing for a career in the animation industry
Project funds from this minigrant would help support a trip to Lightbox Expo, a networking convention for artists in Pasadena, California.
Zoe Edelman
Developing and Maintaining an Online Portfolio
Through these two requested subscriptions, I believe I can format a professional digital portfolio that will help me obtain an internship, and later a full-time job. I will be able to take this time to grow and learn from the research I put into the website and create a presence that will benefit me for years to come.
Meg Kosefeski
Bringing The Digital Lab Home With Me
I am applying for this mini grant in order to help cover the cost of purchasing the 2022 model iPad Pro with an 11 inch display, which can help me bring the digital lab home with me in my backpack.
Hyebin Lee
Portraits with Prime Lens
I would like to request this minigrant to purchase an 85mm lens. This investment will help me hone my photography skills and is essential for my �lm career. For my outcome report, I will attach a few portraits taken with the 85mm lens.
Jolinna Li
Preserving Family Artifacts through Film
As a student majoring in Studio Art and concentrating in Cinematography, I primarily work with time-based mediums. I want to expand my expertise to cover photography as well, to work on my skills and practice when it comes to composition.
Grace Sellers
Delving into Film Photography
I am requesting $500 to purchase a film camera, photographic paper, and film. With these materials, I would be able to learn more about film photography and how it relates to my printmaking practice.
Spring 2022
Sharon Chong
Returning to my Roots
With this minigrant, I hope to reconnect with the medium that first ignited my passion for creating. Although my concentration is in Sculpture, I have recently felt as though I had abandoned my initial love for painting and replaced it with sculpting. I’m also afraid that the years I spent teaching myself techniques may have gone to waste, so I am planning to challenge myself with a painting that requires paying attention to colors, shadows, details, and accuracy.
Noelle Lee
Exploring and Engaging in the Arts in San Francisco
I hope to return to San Francisco (and potentially Monterey) and experience the city in a new way, with a specific focus on exploring the arts in San Francisco and continuing to cultivate my passion for painting and artistic expression.
Olivia Shepard
Cosplay and Edits as New Media Art and Self-Portraiture
I am interested in exploring how online fan art practices can become viewed as a legitimate form of New Media art. To explore this, I would like to ask the Miller Arts Scholars program to fund a short series of cosplay edits I'd like to create. This series will comprise of around 4-5 edits of me cosplaying different fantasy creatures found in the worlds of my favorite fandoms.
Fall 2022
Todd Benson
Oil Painting Supplies for Personal Exploration
Working with color and wet media is new and exciting, and I would like to explore both through oil painting. However, art supplies are very expensive, especially oil paints. I am applying for funding for paints and other painting supplies so that I can paint more affordably.
Spring 2021
Abreale Hopkins
Proposal for Strange Fruit
In 1939 Abel Meeropool wrote the poem Strange Fruit, a poem describing the horrific conditions of the south surrounding lynchings. It was turned into a song, which singer Billie Holiday popularized in the same year. To this day, this song has profound impacts on all who listen. I heard it for the first time two weeks ago while scrolling through twitter. The sound of trumpet coupled with Billie’s distinct voice nearly moved me to tears. The sound alone felt powerful yet sorrowful. The lyrics are incredibly mobilizing, inspirational, and morbid. I have not been able to stop listening to Strange Fruit. It has made me reflect even more on how the world really has not changed since this song was written.
Noelle Lee
Capturing Art Through a New Lens
The work of the artist does not simply end with the washing of paintbrushes and drying of canvases; rather, one of the most important parts of the art-making process is photographing the finished work. As artists are often required to submit work digitally or provide samples of their work online, good photography is vital for good presentation and professionalism in presenting one’s artwork. As I continue my studies at UVA and explore new art forms within the Studio Art discipline, I aim to collect my work in a digital portfolio, through which I can document how I have progressed as an artist through the years and how I have begun to branch out from the art styles with which I am more familiar.
Elizabeth (Liza) Wimbish
Research and Website Renewal
As I approach my fourth year, I am beginning to think about my studio art thesis and applying for the DMP, and with this in mind, I am interested in cultivating a larger library of art books to aid in my research and long-term art practice. Along with this, my website domain fee and the fee to use the platform I designed my website on are both up for their yearly renewals in April. Because engaging in a research practice and having a public portfolio are both vital to creating and eventually showcasing my thesis, I am requesting a Miller Arts Minigrant so that I can purchase several books and renew my website.
Fall 2021
Abreale Hopkins
Creating a Foundation for Success
I am interested in applying to a wide range of paths within the arts. I am especially interested in applying to residencies, graduation programs, and artist run studios. Most of the places I have researched suggest having a website where all information as well as a portfolio can be found. Currently, I do not have a website or a place that provides all of these things. With part of the money awarded through this grant, I would have the opportunity to put my best foot forward into the world. Having a cohesive website will reflect me, my experience, and art. Starting a website now will give me the time to refine its content and develop parts like my bio, artist statement, portfolio, and more.
Olivia Shepard
Artist Website/Online Portfolio
I propose that I create a professional portfolio and website for my art. Through this, I will showcase my art and develop an established online presence for myself as a professional animator/artist.
Elizabeth (Liza) Wimbish
Pursuing a Material Investigation
I am interested in doing more thorough experimentation with different configurations of concrete, glitter, sand and paint to create different kinds of texture. At large, I am trying to see how I can use sand, concrete, and hardware in ways that subvert their conventional status as industrial materials—and this investigation is more rigorous when I have the resources to make a lot of work. With the help of the Mini Grant, I will be able to buy materials so that I can pursue this body of work/investigation without financial hindrance.
Spring 2020
Emma Hitchcock
Improving Graphic Capabilities: Adobe Cloud Subscription
A one-year subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud would help me enhance my passion for digital art. I would be able to use it to improve my designs within the Cavalier Daily, Miller Arts, and for my personal use.
Margaret Kim
Adding Bones to Sculptures of Biologically Possible Alien Organisms
With the funding of this minigrant, I will be able to create larger sculptures with more detail and realism. With these sculpting supplies and accessories, I would continue to develop and explore new concepts, techniques, and approaches to sculpture.
Fall 2020
Margaret Kim
Artist Website and Materials for Sculptures of Biologically Possible Alien Organisms
With the minigrant, I will create a Squarespace website with curated sculpture photos, my biography, links to social media, CV/resume, and my professional contact information.
I am also requesting a minigrant to fund consumable supplies that will allow me to continue creating art. Many of the sculpting material I use are not readily available to students. For example, I use a very specific type of polymer clay, resin, and a mixture of glitter, rhinestones, and artificial pearls. While individual materials, except the polymer clay and resin, are not costly in themselves, I found that they add up very quickly, which impedes my ability to continue creating art.
Kyara Måhlén
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it”- Ansel Adams
I am looking to turn the storage room in my basement into a darkroom so I could learn how to develop my own photography. This semester I couldn’t make it back to Charlottesville, so I had to drop all of my art classes, one of those classes being Introduction to Photography (for my studio art minor). I want to start exploring photography separate from the instant gratification of my iPhone’s perfect picture quality. I’ve been thinking a lot about rebuilding and overall patience because of the nature of our world’s chaos recently, and I wonder what it’s like to cultivate patience through photography.
Claire Murphy
A Rotation in Filmmaking
For this project, I would create six short films, each with a different focus. The pieces would be a narrative short, a music video, a short “artist in the studio” documentary, a dance short, a fashion piece, and an action documentary, specifically on surfing. In each of the shorts I would be collaborating with other college students and recent graduates.
Elizabeth (Liza) Wimbish
Darkroom Exploration
I am requesting a Fall 2020 Mini-Grant that would aid me in purchasing black and white film for the 4x5 camera, 8x10 inch photographic paper, and 11x14 inch photographic paper so that I can continue rigorous explorations in the darkroom without being hindered by the cost of materials.
Spring 2019
Anna Warner
Images, Still and Moving
The project I am proposing is three short films in cinematography by the end of the semester through which I can explore the medium specificity of film. My three films will be shot on color negative 16mm film using Bolexes, and they will be scanned and edited digitally. Through a semester of planning, writing, buying costumes, constructing sets, filming, recording sound, and editing, I hope to learn more about this medium and also how I can also apply it to strengthen my Studio Art major concentration of photography.
Fall 2019
Margaret Kim
Adding Color to Sculptures of Biologically Possible Alien Organisms
I am requesting a mini grant to fund an airbrush, along with an air compressor, paints and inks to be used with the airbrush, pigments, airbrush cleaning tools, and few other consumable sculpting materials.
Ava Reynolds
Screen Printing Studio Space
I’m applying for an Artist Minigrant to develop a screen printing studio space to further the screen printing skills I learned this past summer. I was only able to create two small prints in the workshop I attended, and I would like to work with larger screens using more colors and layering techniques. If awarded, I would use the grant to purchase functioning silkscreens, screen printing inks, and other subsequent supplies like squeegees, squeegee holders, photo emulsion paste, printing paper etc.
Kia Wassenaar
Scenes in Print
Combining my interest in new media and knowledge of the Adobe Suite with this newfound interest in photography, I have produced a number of vibrant, otherworldly images which I would like to reproduce in the form of high quality color prints. The process of color printing is very expensive, but would enable me to submit these works to galleries and other contests in the Charlottesville area.
Isabella Whitfield
Paper Sculptures: A Continuation
For my mini grant proposal, I would like to attend the one-day Sculptural Flax workshop at Carriage House Paper. By attending this workshop, I will increase my knowledge of using paper as a sculptural material, incorporating nylon stocking armatures and high shrinkage unbleached flax.
Elizabeth (Liza) Wimbish
Camera Upgrade
I am requesting a Miller Arts Scholars Minigrant to purchase a 6x7 Medium Format Camera, a 6x7 negative carrier for my enlarger, and black and white 120 format film. After considering my history with photography this far, I think this camera would be a good equilibrium between the TLR I was exposed to and the 35mm camera I used priorly; because of this, working with this camera would be an asset in furthering my work.
Spring 2018
Anna Morgan
Deconstructing the Artist Book
I would like to ask for support to purchase various bookmaking materials, including paper, thread, and wax, as well as funds to purchase my own typewriter; despite having access to one in the studio, I would like my own to further explore the options without commandeering it from the rest of the class and so that I may pursue this work beyond the classroom on my own time and terms both in and out of school. I also have acrylic paint and medium in my budget for staining paper. I will use materials I already have for etchings and other prints.
Fall 2018
Elissa Bardhi
Oil Painting
I am applying for the artist minigrant to find a way back to oil painting. With this grant I will have the resources I need to create a large oil painting that ties to my realism roots. This would be different than every project I have ever indulged in because it would have no guidelines, no short-term biweekly due date, and no grade. This grant would give me the opportunity to produce the art I once knew and loved on a grand scale.
Claire Burke
Beyond the Image: America’s National Parks
I would most like to expand the opportunities to show the film within the Charlottesville community, specifically hosting an exhibition focused on environmentalism in art. To accomplish these goals, I need connections to potential showing locations and funds to host an exhibition and apply for festivals.
Michelle Miles
Don’t Get My Chair In It
With this project, I hope to expand the frame of my work’s composition to include subject matter that I have never addressed before. With the funds from this grant, I would gain the opportunity to revisit voices from my childhood to capture and share stories through my medium, 16mm film, that I’ve gained a newfound confidence to work in.
Anna Morgan
The Intersection of Photography and Printmaking
I would end the semester with a final portfolio of at least fifteen color photographs, four print projects, and some hybrid creations utilizing both mediums. I expect the work, again, to be similar to what I produce in class, but hopefully with the support of Miller Arts Scholars I will be able to push my work even more. I believe this symbiotic relationship of photos versus prints would grow my work tremendously and help push me to a stronger 4th Year Show in the Spring as well.
Shannon Spence
Going Big: Public Art and Self-Promotion
Entering into my fourth and final year at UVA and my second as a Miller Arts Scholar, I am struck with the urgency of my situation. This time next year I will no longer have access to the support of an art department, professors and classmates, and there will be no large student body as a potential audience. Therefore, this semester I am planning a forward approach to marketing my art to greater UVA.
Anna Warner
Photographs and the Silver Window of Reality
The specific hypothesis that I am investigating is this: in the way that all photographs are lies, there is a specific type of film that is the most genuine depiction of truth that the deceit of photography can muster. The film type I am referring to is color positive, or slide film.
Kia Wassenaar
Drawing, Paintings and Portfolio Making
I have several ideas for drawings that I believe would translate well to paintings. While I have never worked extensively in this medium, I am eager to explore and experiment, particularly within the world of acrylics and watercolors. The materials needed to get started with painting (an easel, canvases, brushes, the paint itself, etc.) can be expensive, which is why this Minigrant would be essential.
Isabella Whitfield
Merging Different Materials and Artistic Processes
I am proposing a project that will span to the end of the fall semester. I am requesting funds to help purchase a Wacom Intuos Pro Paper drawing tablet. This tool allows artists to have editable digital files of artwork without compromising the familiar pen to paper process of creating. For my project, I will create a series of six digital paintings that will explore the potential of merging traditional and digital materials. I will closely document my artistic process to provide a clear picture of the utilization of these materials. Adobe Photoshop software will be used to compile and edit my artwork via tablet.
Spring 2017
Krista Hartmann
Documenting the Artistic Process—An Instant Photography Study
I am currently a second year Echols Scholar double majoring in Studio Art and Biology. I am requesting funding from the Miller Arts Scholars Minigrant Program to support the cost of a Polaroid film project aiming to document and expose the artistic process.
Fall 2017
Kirsten Hemrich
The Artist’s Book: A Temporal Landscape
I am proposing a semester long project which will take course over the fall semester. With the requested the funds to cover the costs of materials, I will learn about the craft of bookbinding and bind a book myself. I intend to create an artist’s book which will merge poetry writing and various drawing techniques.
Nicholas Milkovich
Tetanus
I am requesting a Miller Art Scholar Mini Grant to pursue the construction of a large-scale sculpture. This sculpture will be part of the McGuffey Art Center show entitle Off the Wall beginning this October and ending in November. At the conclusion of the show, this sculpture will be the centerpiece of my fourth year concentration in Sculpture and will become a part of my fourth year show at the conclusion of the Spring Semester 2018.
Anna Morgan
Layers of Selves
My proposed project involves the craft of bookmaking in relation to the meaning of “self” across time and interfaces. I imagine a trail of selves extending backward and forward in time, a constantlyIchanging definition of who we are. In addition to time, we create various selves via the internet, freezing ourselves in cyberspace on numerous social networks and websites. I currently am asking myself, how can I portray these layers of selves? How can I show these shadows of who we are in an art form? A book makes the most sense to me, as it is literally layers: pages one after another; once flipped, previous pages are past encounters while future pages wait to be seen. I would use Coptic binding for the more open format of the book, and a more obvious portrayal of layering.
Shannon Spence
Study in Serigraphy – Art Postering
I am applying for the Miller Art Scholars Minigrant to study the art of serigraphy, more commonly known as screen-printing. This will fund private lessons in the photo-emulsion technique and a 3-month Artist Residency at Studio Two Three in Richmond, VA. In addition to being able to practice the art of serigraphy in a studio setting, I will be generating a body of work surrounding a formal interest in exploring color and form and a thematic interest in the tropes of college postering.
Fall 2016
Kylie Grow
Archive Photo Essay
As explained in my first minigrant proposal in support of the peel-apart film photo essay originally titled Healing, later titled Living Just Around the Corner, I am submitting this second grant proposal to financially support the preservation of the images I made this summer.
Kirsten Hemrich
Student Art Show
Over the course of the past month, I have been organizing a student art show that will take place in GRIT Coffee House on Elliwood on the UVA corner. The show will include my work, as well as the work of fellow Miller Art Scholars, Emma Lewis and Corrinne James. I am requesting $500 in the form of a Minigrant to help cover the costs of framing my work and providing food at the opening reception. I am also requesting funds to rent the facility one night during the show to host an open mic night/ closing reception event.

Kylie Grow
Decadence
Kylie received an Artist Minigrant to support the cost of hanging materials, and photo mats for a week long art opening of her independently produced investigative photo essay titled Decadence.
Kylie Grow
Healing
Kylie will use minigrant funding to support the cost of producing an analytical photo essay in an unconventional medium that is typically treated as “toy photography”, or an antiquated household documentary sort of photography: instant Polaroid photograph.
Kirsten Hemrich
Repurposing Forgotten Photographs
Kirsten will create a series of mixed media paintings that incorporate forgotten, vintage photographs
Corrinne James
"Moments"
Corrinne will purchase camera film, markers for illustrations, sketchpads and materials for use in creating a 4-5 minute long animated narrative about the idea of the self, life and the spirit.
Parima Sahbai
The Relation between Photography and Drawing
Parima will purchase photography equipment to further her development as a studio artist.
Margaret Via
Penland School of Crafts
Margaret will attend a two-week course this summer at the Penland School of Crafts.
Susan Xie
Native Tongues
Susan will explore questions related to culture, especially in the form of mouths and tongues. For an example, see the third gif on this site http://rsx3cd.tumblr.com/. Currently, she is working on a final stop motion project that explores the symbolism of time and tongues moving in circular patterns.
