August in Thesisville

It's a busy month here in Thesisville! (I'm borrowing that term from Carolyn Rordam from my group, because I love it!) Got my first feedback from advisor Hannah Barrett on the Thesis and it's good! Also working hard on these 3 paintings for my thesis show. Lots of layers, the 2 groundview paintings I'm starting to paint the forrest floor.

Also teaching "Creating Personal Landscapes" my first class at the Bloomington Art Center next week. Hard at work preparing a thrilling lecture with images from April Gornik (of course!), Peter Doig, Vija Celmins, Gerhard Richter, and a bit of the Hudson River School for perspective. I will teach the class again in the fall and will also be co-teaching a creativity and movement class at the Jewish Community Center this fall in St. Louis Park. Not quite sure how that class is going to go but will keep you posted!
