Why STUDIO 117?
Yes, I forgot to mention one thing which was supposed to go in the previous post.
You may be wondering why today, the day that I return, the name of the blog changes.
Well, the reason that it was changed from STUDIO 11 to STUDIO 117 is because the classroom number that is next to the door in the hallway says 117. I thought that it was only fitting to call the blog and the studio in general...

Artist Of The Week
So, I got this idea the other day to have a featured artist every week. I have been thinking of some different ways to spice up my blog with some new things besides my own artwork and events that I take part in and this sounded like it would be great idea. At the beginning of the week I will post an artist biography and then throughout the week post pictures of their artwork and other various...

Mentor Protege Program | Gallery Reception
This last Thursday we finally had our reception for the mentor protege program. It was very enjoyable just like always. It was nice to be able to talk about my work with others in the community that came to see the show. It was also nice to see a bunch of my friends and fellow student artists that were featured in the show.
