Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By showing my paintings at Northfield Arts Guild this project provides access to participation in the art for more Minnesotans. This project serves residents interested in thought-provoking art leading to discussion of universal themes of cultural, religious heritage, and metaphorical thinking. I will collect attendance data from Northfield Arts Guild; I will collect responses to my work in a guest notebook placed in the gallery; I will talk with people attending the opening and will observe behavior at the opening; I will ask Northfield Arts Guild staff for audience responses to my work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I am dedicated to articulating sacredness in this time and place through drawings and painting that convey more than the mere appearance of the subject. I serve the public through artist exhibitions, studio arts education, and art talks with adults and children.
