I've done a lot of research in contemporary
art history,
as well as I have presented said research
at two different conferences
in Memphis, Tennessee
and in Montreal, Québec.
I also founded and am the president of
the Art History Club here on campus
and I currently have a large public installation
installed in the Dixon University Center,
which is PASSHE's headquarters.
I've been fairly involved with the
Miller Gallery on campus.
I've been able to
assist several professional working artists
in doing large-scale installations in the
spring semesters, as well as I'm currently
the president of the Art History Club,
which is a club that I just helped found
last semester, and we've already been
able to do some really great stuff with the
program.
I chose Kutztown because I needed something
to
not only fit into my personal budget, but
also have
a really, really great program.
And the visual arts
program here at Kutztown is really fantastic
and the
professors are better than I could have imagined,
so that's why I chose Kutztown.
Kutztown's given me a really amazing ability
to
think critically about all sorts of things,
be it
a piece of art or a different way to interpret
the world.
So, it's given me not only opportunities to
succeed,
but opportunities to take that knowledge and
really
apply it in real-life situations.
So, immediately after graduation, I have a
full-time paid internship set up at
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
So, I'll be doing that for most of the summer
and then I'm hoping to attain some kind of
other internship or fellowship to take up
the time between now and the fall, when I'll
be applying to Ph.D. programs in Art History.
