Well sometimes when I was in school, I didn't feel like I got recognized a lot. I worked hard and my image changed every year. Visiting artists and students would come around and tell me how they liked my work and wanted to talk about it for a minute (but not for very long unless a meeting was scheduled with me).
But once I got into my spring semester of my senior year, things kind of changed. I really started to understand what I was doing and what it meant.
Still didn't mean I had work hanging in the halls or in the Student shows (no matter how many times I tried getting my work in).
But my BFA work has been popping up everywhere over the schools website.
This kind of makes me feel like something was worth showing. Someone thought that I was on to something. Finding this out makes me feel a little more motivated.
I did have someone at the school film me painting. I keep looking to see if they have ever made a video about the Painting department with the stuff he shot.
I am just happy now, that something good came of my BFA work besides graduating.
Maybe, when I really look back at BFA, it could be because I was the only painter in my graduating class that hung my work as traditional work. Everyone else had sculptures or "rooms" or cut outs, or interactive things. (that was pointed out to me the week of BFAs)
I just wanted to say thanks to the people that are recognizing my work. It makes me feel good.
Here is the website if you wanted to take a gander at my work with other painters that came from the school: http://www.cia.edu/academics/painting You will find it on the lower right hand side titled Featured Student Work.
:) Thanks!!

Gallery Hop
This Saturday, Columbus's Short North is having their Gallery Hop. Since I am an intern at the Mac Worthington Gallery, I will be working the event. Plus they hung one of my paintings! "Life on Lake Erie" $150, will be featured in the Gallery this weekend! If you are in the Columbus area, you all should go out and have a great time at the Gallery Hop!
