University of Tennessee-Knoxville
March, 2009
Rachel Clark, a grad student, put this in motion and then took care of the details. i was invited to visit/critique with painting grads, and they were easily some of my best conversations. i was lucky to get some time with the clay kids as well. eastern tennessee has more teeth (per capita) than i was led to believe. good times.0
Appalachain Center for Crafts
Various, 1999-2003
i really love this poster.
the Craft Center played a big role in allowing me to make the art that i make. specifically, Vince Pitelka was (and is) the driving force in that department. he makes things possible. not sure how he fits so many brains inside his head, but clearly he has more than most of us.0
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
February, 2010
yep. february. nice to visit my home state, and the sky greeted me with some massive white flakes. grad student Angela Louise Biederman took care of every little detail, while the faculty (Karen Gunderman, Chris Davis Benevides) made sure i got a good impression of the campus. i love milwaukee.0
California State University-Summer Arts
July, 2010
many huge thank you's to Patsy Cox for inviting me. it was an honor for me to participate. i was one of 4 esteemed visiting artists--Tip Toland! Holly Hanessian! Heather Mae Ericson! our visits didn't overlap, but i heard all the juicy gossip (and invented some of my own). not only a pile of talented students (mostly californians) but the greatest assistants ever: Sandi Escobar, Akiko Jackson, and Gina Aparicio. --in no particular order, ladies-- despite the soul-crushing heat, and potential liver-damage, i wanted to stay.0
Missouri State University
September, 2010
my friend Kieth Ekstam invited me into his classroom for an afternoon. i told a whole bunch of lies, then we headed over to the pizza joint. after a 4 hour lunch, i got to show my slides. (more lies...). got to meet the infamous Kevin Hughes. these people are fun. visit them.0
