Coverage - photos and radio interview - of my exhibition last year in the Kent Downtown Art Gallery

Realized that my last post was WAAAYYYY back in 2011, so I thought I should at least post this link to the local NPR Station's (WKSU) interview of me for the exhibition that I had in the Downtown Art Gallery in January of last year! Much of my (slightly more recent) artwork is photographed and in video as part of this article: http://www.wksu.org/news/story/41836

Director(s) of the Fashion School

I have now spent 3 weeks in my new post as Professor and Director of the Fashion School at Kent State University in Ohio. It has been an amazing start; so much to learn.

Sadly, my predecessor, Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes, passed away this week on thursday night. Her legacy will continue to be very strong for a long time to come at Kent State University. With the strength of vision and boundless drive, she accomplished incredible things for the School of Fashion. I hope to be able to continue and to expand that vision in a manner befitting of her memory.

In Elizabeth's honor,

"Good Things!"
