Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This grant opportunity will replace ineffective and outdated technology with a professional tool that will allow me to continue to work in an efficient digital environment. The tried and tested Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 will support my career for the next 5-10 years by consolidating my workflow. The continued output and reliance on this new technology will prove itself over time. New artworks will be developed and presented in future exhibitions I plan to be a part of. Should my career continue, it will be seen by the works produced on this device.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful purchase of an interactive pen display and tablet. Flexible and mobile production of artwork outside the studio and while traveling. Maximized utility of up to date hardware and software that consolidates and replaces old, broken equipment. Numerous artworks have been produced and displayed in multiple venues including galleries, businesses and online.
