Lia Halloran, “Dark Skate”

Lia Halloran is not your typical skater girl. The daughter of a scientist, she was featured in Thrasher magazine at age 16, and went on to get an M.F.A. from Yale University’s department of painting and printmaking. These cosmic forces collided when she received a grant to study the night sky with scientists in Chile in 2000.
