Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I was most inspired by Alcott’s perseverance in upholding his perspectives, even if they weren’t widely acknowledged. His belief that every child deserved a nurturing and uplifting education resonated deeply with me, particularly in today’s world. It’s almost two centuries later, and there is a whole new set of problems in the education system, yet his beliefs still apply—no matter how much time has passed, children still deserve nurturing."
