Exhibition and Publication Record
2015 Hood College Presidential Inauguration
Organized two events:
1) Graffiti Painting (interactive collaboration)
The public was invited to add their contributions to two large canvases in front of the Tatem Arts building on inauguration day. Hood College art faculty also contributed their mark-making skills to these highly collaborative and interactive paintings. The paintings will later be displayed on campus.
2) Psychedelic Projection
Worked with Hood College IT and alumna Cecelia Lee ’15 to project her abstract psychedelic animation (timed to music) to the façade of the Tatem Arts building.
2015 Impossible Dreams, Hodson Gallery, Hood College, Frederick, MD
A collaborative exhibition with individual and group works by faculty, students and staff members from Hood College, Stevenson University, Goucher College, and Frederick Community College.
