MFA, Assist, Janae Corrado

I start my MFA in Studio Art and the Computer this Fall at UCF, I'm excited and feel the program will be very beneficial. There is a small group of students in the program and the MFA studio area plus equipment is top-notch. I will be working as a Graduate Assistant which will hopefully open the doors for teaching opportunities in the future.
Last week I had the opportunity to assist my friend Adam Krause again, who was visiting from NYC executing a photo shoot for GLAMOUR magazine. He has been making a name for himself working as a commerical photographer, and was even selected by PDN as one of the 30 top emerging photographers this year. It was fun to work on a shoot for a magazine I read regularly.

July 1st, my good friend the talented artist Janae Corrado will be having a solo show at Tatame lounge and gallery in Winter Park, FL.

Re.action

Unpleasant car rental agents, unaccessible hot tubs, and finicky GPS aside.....the trip to MD was a complete success!
We arrived in Dulles around one and began the scenic drive, including an unintentional detour through downtown D.C., to Solomons. Solomons is a very pretty little town with an outlandishly tall bridge we drove over maybe six times for the thrill of it. Isabelle and I explored the area some and then got all gussied up for the Grand Opening Gala of Annmarie Gardens new arts building. The Gala was a black tie affair including exhibits from Olga Hirshhorn's Recollects as well as Re.action. It was amazing to see my work in the midst of the new buildings success and being exhibited anywhere near the works of Picasso, Calder, Serrano, and Matisse. All the women working Annmarie Garden as well as Juror Mark Ward (Deputy Director of the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore) were amicable and I admire them for putting together such an incredible event. I am also grateful for their choice to provide liberal portions of the best oysters I have ever consumed.

The next day we explored some of the art galleries in Washington D.C.
My favorite was Randall Scott Gallery, which was exhibiting the work of Sarah Wilmer.
