She will be attending West Virginia University in the fall as a Bucklew Scholarship recipient to study Art and Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on portraiture in oil on canvas, her works are heavily inspired by bright patterns, intriguing expressions and personalities, vibrant flora and fauna and surrealist ideas.&nbsp; She has a passion for Appalachian culture and history.&nbsp; Her Artist Statement states, \u201cMy compositions are intentionally busy and aim to inspire the movement of the viewer\u2019s eye-something that I feel represents the vibrancy and eccentricity of West Virginian culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edinger is spending the summer painting in her studio at home.&nbsp; She is working on an illustrative commission for custom wallpaper.&nbsp; Winning best in show at Oglebay Institute\u2019s\u2019 Regional Art Exhibition for Students, she has also been published in YNST Arts and Culture Magazine.&nbsp;
