Samantha Toeman is a nineteen year old artist and designer from New York studying at the Rhode Island School of Design. She's spending the summer at home, drawing portraits at her local farmer's market, learning how to make mozzarella, reading Harper's Magazine, and talking to strangers.

Her favorite things at the moment are nectarines, bringing a gift when invited over, reading and discussing essays with friends, paccheri pasta, and drying one's clothes in the sun.
