New Beginnings at The University of Houston
I am very excited to announce that I am a now graduate student at the University of Houston! Over the next three years, I will challenge, rework, and expand my art practice as I pursue a MFA in Painting.
I moved into Elgin Street Studios and made a proper nest of my studio in late August. Book shelves installed, flat files purged, and artwork organized.
It was bewildering to see everything I’ve been working on in a single room again. For the past year, my studio has been divided between a one bedroom apartment and a very full storage unit. Unfinished thoughts and loose threads ran rampant.
There is work to be done. My first set of critiques this week made that evident. I look forward to sharing what comes of all this in the months and years ahead.
