Former member of the Durham Arts <br /> Council Staff organizing and recruiting instructors, exhibiting local art, reviewing grant <br /> applications, and maintaining area budget/facilities. <br /> Would love to be part of the Orange County Arts Commission. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> N/A <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Arts Commission <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I hold a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology, an MFA from the University of Memphis <br /> and have taught art, photography, digital imaging, and web design/development at the college <br /> and university level in Tennessee, upstate New York, and in North Carolina.

Instead, I <br /> think of viewpoint as a stew with ingredients born from the five states I have worked in, the three <br /> countries I have lived in, the eight colleges/universities I studied at, and the seven <br /> colleges/universities I have taught at. I am beholden to no philosophy or media and appreciate <br /> the creation of what has not previously existed and I would like to help foster that process of <br /> creation. <br />
