Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal for this project is to apply fellowship funds towards living expenses, supplies and framing materials needed in the creation of a new body of work for a solo exhibition at the Duluth Art Institute. The measurable outcome of this project will be the successful presentation of a new, high-quality body of work. The method used to measure and evaluate the achievement of the goals listed above is the successful completion and presentation of a new body of work without the burden of financial strain on our family's income. I will be filled with a sense of liberty, and be able to create more freely as an artist while developing this work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The measurable outcome of this project is the framing and completion of a new body of work for a solo exhibition, Land of Wonder at the Duluth Art Institute. Fellowship funds were applied to living expenses, supplies and framing materials needed to create this series.
