Abstract Details

2014, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
This paper will explore the journey I have taken to achieve my thesis exhibition. After the completion of my BFA degree in 2007 with a focus in both sculpture and painting, I continued to pursue my passion for creating art. However, I was thrown into a world void of artistic surroundings and daily interactions. I had to adapt to my new, smaller environment with a lack of equipment and tools that were available during my undergraduate experience. I occupied a small studio that forced me to focus on smaller paintings and jewelry designs. Unable to pick up where I left off, I went on a search for new materials and subject matter that would accommodate my new art. It was this dramatic change that would bring me to where I am today as an artist.
