  "account": "Hilary Lorenz, a printmaker and self-proclaimed mountain ultrarunner, shares her workspace in an interview for A View From the Easel. She has been working in her current studio since 2013, after building it herself with help from two neighbors using stones, mud, local timber, and windows from Habitat for Humanity Restore. Lorenz describes her average day in the studio, which includes a morning walk with her dogs, running, filling her water bottle, and working on one or two pieces at a time. She values the comfort and security of her studio, which offers a connection to the surrounding mountains and a space for messy projects. Lorenz interacts with the environment outside her studio by keeping an open view of the mountains and having multiple entrances and windows. She loves the independence and security of her studio, built entirely from materials she collected herself. However, she wishes the studio were closer to an urban environment for social interactions and access to local museums like Site Santa Fe and the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. Lorenz's primary art material is paper, which she uses for printing, relief, intaglio, and lithography, as well as weaving, marbling, and creating boats and books.",
