Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1: As a mid-career artist who collaborates extensively, I intend to develop and deepen my own voice more overtly within my work. It will be evaluated in the quality of the new work, which pushes me to use my voice. Feedback from the community exhibition about this new work. There I also reflect on my satisfaction it. 2: Learn and grow my video editing skills to expand my video practice and share that work with others. By the success of actually editing the videos, which will be shown in the community exhibition. Along the way, the continuing education course provides in-process evaluation and feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a mid-career artist who collaborates extensively, Haller developed her own voice more overtly within her work. Feedback during the community exhibition helped Haller deepen and develop this new work for the future. 2: Haller grew her editing skills through creating vignettes and experiments. However, she focused mostly on the photographs and book. The photographs and book became more important. Haller did work with video, yet realized she was not yet at a point in the process for substantial, final videos; the book will guide the video's narrative arch and content.
