To have a successful exhibit of my abstract paintings at the Duluth Art Institute and to have an artist talk that is cohesive and clearly lays out my ideas and motivations in regards to my work. I also would like the paintings to be a cohesive statement that pushes my work conceptually and technically. I will evaluate the success of the exhibit by attendance and critical response from local arts professionals. Critical response can be measured by the comments from the Curator and staff at the Duluth Art Institute and other arts professionals in the community.
The exhibit was a success with over 200 people attending the exhibit, the opening, and the artist talk. One painting went to a collector who formerly ran a successful gallery in Kansas City. Shannon Cousino, Professor of Art at University of Wisconsin-Superior, brought her art seminar class to the exhibition. Also through this project I was also included in Kathy McTavish's Quantum Computing Project (another Arrowhead Regional Arts Council funded event) and the Duluth Art Institute Make your Mark event which gave me access to a much wider audience then I expected.
