Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Develop and refine technical skills to produce a new body of work that can be shared with the creative community. I will hold a public viewing and an artist talk and invite students to view and engage in dialogue about the new work. I will solicit responses with a comments book and personal dialogue with viewers. 2: Engage more deeply as a professional artist through exhibition and sales of my work. Exhibition opportunities and sales of work will be a gauge of my ability to develop as an artist.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I developed a new body of work and shared it with the community. I spent months shooting and printing a new body of photogravure work. Unfortunately, the pandemic dashed my plans to exhibit my work but I did produce a video and webpage about my new work. 2: Work from the series I developed was honored in several competitions. Unable to show this work, I entered it in several competitions and was awarded honors for the work.
