I will grow the scale of my work and learn new construction techniques for making 3-D paper structures to be installed on the wall. I will evaluate this outcome based on the success of creating and installing this new 3-D paper work in the RCTC gallery, as well as my ability to exhibit this work in other spaces. 2: I will redesign my website to promote my work, add a marketplace for direct purchase of my work and promote myself through other calls for entry. Using Google Analytics, I will track traffic and page views at my site. I will also gauge my success by the number of opportunities I apply to and am accepted in during the grant period.

The artist created a wall installation and soft sculptures that were greater in scale than previous works. The artist learned new construction techniques in the development of this work. The artist exhibited new work in two Minnesota exhibitions. 2: I redesigned my website to promote my work in both the state of Minnesota and nationally. I shared my experience with local high school artists. The artists website was updated. The artist used her website and other documentation to get into four future exhibitions. The artist engaged with local Minnesota audiences at two receptions and an artist talk and workshop with local high school students.
