ACHF Arts Access
The artist will create and present a new body of work at an exhibition and facilitate an artist talk that will be open to the public. Public engagement will be measured by attendance numbers for an exhibition opening and a public artist discussion around themes in my artwork. 2: The artist will work with a Geological Information Systems analyst to learn new software for the creation of more technically advanced subject matter. The artist will have accumulated new knowledge about geological satellite imaging software and LiDAR point cloud model production.
I created and presented a new body of work at Bethel University and Ridgewater Colleges (Hutchinson and Willmar Campuses) I led four artist talk. Over 2500 individuals attended the three exhibitions of my work. 295 of these individuals were in attendance at one of the four public artist talks I lead. 2: I worked with Mike Strong, GIS analyst, to create and learn new software for the creation of more technically advanced subject matter. I developed new skills using 3D imaging software and LiDAR point cloud model production. This has greatly expanded my artistic practice.
