Tobi Mueller

2026 Media Arts Scholarship Recipient

Tobi Mueller is a 17-year-old media artist from Norwich, Vermont, whose passion for animation began with an early fascination for the craftsmanship behind film. That curiosity developed into a commitment to creating visually driven work that reflects both personal experience and a wide range of artistic influences.

Her work draws from animation, music, and everyday surroundings, resulting in projects that are both visually dynamic and deeply personal. Tobi thrives in collaborative environments, where exposure to other artists challenges her to push her ideas further and refine her technical skills. Her practice reflects a balance between experimentation and careful attention to detail.

Tobi plans to continue developing her skills across animation and fine arts, with an interest in pursuing creative work in visual storytelling. The AQF scholarship will support her growth as she attends the Pratt Summer Pre-College Intensive, where she will strengthen foundational techniques, explore new media, and learn from professional artists in a studio setting.
