GFF Alumnus Sophie White is currently working toward her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Southeast Missouri State University, and just finished her first year of college.

As a 2020 GFF scholarship recipient, Sophie attended Animation and Video Projects, plus Advanced Painting and Drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago.

In addition to working on her art, Sophie has another project scheduled for the summer.

“This summer I am headed off to Appalachia to work with the Appalachian Service Project. It is a program that helps make homes warmer, safer, and drier for families in Appalachia,” Sophie says.

We are so proud of you, Sophie. Keep up the good work!
