Civitella Ranieri Center is pleased to welcome Freya Yost as one of our interns for the 2011 season.
Freya was born in Lincoln, Vermont and from an early age loved to travel. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History at the American University of Rome, and studied at the Aegean Center for Fine Arts in Greece as well as the University of Nanjing in China. Her Art History interests while in school focused on Italian Architecture and in particular the Fascist period. Although in school she always studied Art History she has always been interested in the visual arts. She has a passion for ceramics, botanical illustration, and painting that has kept her busy in her free time.
Her recent adventures took her to Asia where she spent three months researching Chinese, Korean and Japanese contemporary ceramics. While working in a clay factory in Jingdezhen China, she learned to throw with the white porcelain of the region. Freya is interested in the diverse groups of artists from around the world that are invited to the Civitella and looks forward to learning how artists are influenced by their environment. She is curious to see how international artists share their individual cultures within the community and how that culture is affected by the context they are working within. She is also curious as to how artists working in diverse mediums communicate and learn from each other.
