Foundations I & II; Intermediate and Advanced Painting and Drawing
Anderson University is a community in the fullest sense of the word. On our campus you will find a true liberal arts experience; of breadth and inquiry, fraught with challenges and rewards, and with faculty dedicated to supporting students and the development of knowledge.
The visual arts is an incredibly diverse field that extends beyond traditional modes and requires flexible thinking and actions.
I was a co-founder and exhibitions director of the ThreeCitiesGroup artist collective. The group was responsible for multiple exhibitions, performances, and workshops across the Southeast. I was also a drummer in several bands, and still consider music a vital influence on my artistic practice!
My students and colleagues. Our department is comprised of an astounding group of artist educators that I am fortunate to collaborate with. I also get to work with students from Foundations to Seniors, which is a remarkable transition!
