April 2008


I recently finished 4 new pieces for my Constructed Landscapes series and they are ready to view on my website. Enjoy!

Besides re-doing my CV…again…I also just finished re-designing my web-page…again! :-)

CHECK IT OUT!!!

I finally got a chance to head over to the Dyer Arts Center to view the Artech exhibit.

Rochester Artech 2008

Cornfields on the wall of Artech 2008

This was yet another exhibiting experience for me, and a different one at that. For this show Artech both print and matt my work. I would not of put my work in a gray matt…but what are you going to do?

Walking around the exhibition my favorite piece had to be Aspasia Tsoutsoura’s 3D installation with video projection Ice Melt. Tsoutsoura’s work won both “Most Innovative” and “First Place Installation.” Congrats!!

My series Constructed Landscapes was just accepted into another show: Work In Progress: 2nd Annual CIAS Senior Show. I am really excited to show my work again in a gallery setting. The show will be up at the Visual Studies Workshop for the month of May..the exact same time of the BFA Senior Show: Seventeen which this same series will be hanging in @ Booksmart Studio.

This is really exciting news!! Two well known galleries in Rochester, NY will have my work hanging in them for the month of May :-) Now I need to buy more frames…not so exciting news. I am now realizing how expensive it is to be an artist. Not that 4 years of college and too many student loans later didn’t already alert me to that…

I have changed my website again…it’s now square…

Enjoy.

Have you heard of Twitter? I was introduced to it over a year ago, and was never that interested in it… now maybe from boredom or this instinct to build upon this blog of mine…I have created an account. It’s like micro-blogging. Check it out.

My piece Cornfields has been selected to be displayed at the Rochester Artech 2008 digital art exhibition. This exhibition will be @ the Dyer Arts Center from April 11 through May 4.

Yea! :-)

My initial reaction to my rejection letter was to quickly think of 100 graduate schools that I could apply to…ASAP. This was just me panicking! The more I think about it, the more I realize that I am rushing my life, trying to fast-forward to a time I am settled down and successful. Who’s to say that I can’t be successful while also moving forward at my own pace? My desire to go to graduate school hasn’t changed, I’m just going to wait a couple years and gain some “real world experience”, whatever that may entail.

Now, what I need to do is research areas of the country that I might want to live. I do need to find a job to pay the bills, but I also want to be happy where I am living. There are so many things that need to be considered, that need to be researched.

I’m not intimidated at all….really.
