Madeline Howland, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a senior at Grinnell College, where she is majoring in biology. Her favorite place is Quetico Provincial Park in Canada, with its tall white pines and myriad of tiny islands. During her time in Grinnell, she has also come to appreciate the prairie and the evocative power of its negative space. She does simple graphite drawings to capture the expressive way that goldenrod, coneflowers and black-eyed Susans reach toward the sky.
