Connecting Arts & Sciences: Victoria Stanton

Victoria Stanton created this acrylic painting on canvas depicting a tube of sunscreen, cleverly reimagining SPF as "HPF 96" (Harbor Protection Factor 96). This artwork symbolizes the Foundation's mission to safeguard Nantucket's harbor ecosystem, particularly its eelgrass and scallops. The number 96 reflects the club's address at 96 Washington Street, tying the piece to the GHYC's identity. The painting celebrates the Foundation's commitment to preserving the harbor's natural beauty, urging viewers to protect and keep it wild.

Victoria, 18, attends Trinity College and is studying studio art and art history.
