## Resource

The Montclair Art Museum welcomed, Arianna Jobst, as it's first ever Writer-in-Residence this Spring. Arianna Jobst is a New Jersey native and emerging writer working primarily in creative nonfiction — short stories, essays, and novel writing that explore family, queerness, and identity. She graduated from the Literary Prose program at the Univeristy of Virginia. Her piece My Turn , voicing the frustrations of queer women and their female friendships, was published in the Virginia Literary Review. During the duration of the exhibition, See It Now: Contemporary Art from the Ann and Mel Schaffer Collection , her literary interpretations of art on view in the show will be published weekly, with readings, such as this, released in our podcast feed bi-weekly. This piece, titled "Maybe, I wasn't supposed to see it." is an interpritation of the artwork, Face , by Natalie Frank.
