Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Creating approximately 30 pieces of new, large-scale work for exhibition proposals. Evaluation will be based on the quality of each piece created, if a large size (16 x 20 to 20 x 24) is achieved, and if the number of pieces totals more than 20 and is close to 30 or more. 2: Develop a personal website. Website easily maintained and navigated showing selection of images for review by museums and galleries.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I completed more than 90 new pieces including 32 large scale works, 16 inch x 20 inch 25 pieces 20 inch x 24 inch, and 33 sized 8 inch x 10 inch, creating a series of work able to submit to galleries and museums. 2: I set up a professional looking website that is easy to navigate and am continuing to update it with new works. I have started contacting several museums and galleries and including my website and contact information for their review.
