One of my friends from St. Olaf, Anne, has just decided to sign on for another year with the Peace Corps in El Salvador. She’s really been making a difference down there. Find out more from her own blog.

One of the reasons that Anne is special to me is her artwork. After graduating from St. Olaf, she won the chance to stay on for a year to establish her portfolio. Her work has an intertwining of intellectual and emotional currents that make it change depending on the observer’s mood and thoughts. Simply phenomenal. Her old site, with some of her work, is still up. Why don’t you head on over and have a look?

Good luck on your 3rd year, Anne, and I look forward to how this experience will shape your art!
