Fall 2025 Has Begun at Morningside University!

Classes at Morningside University began earlier this week; I always enjoy meeting new students and look forward to catching up with returning ones!

This fall, I am teaching ART 103 Design, ART 210 Graphic Design I, ART 402 Advanced Studies in Art History, and ART 470 Graphic Design Internship.

As Morningside’s galleries director, I scheduled an art sale to open up our fall season in Eppley Art Gallery! I will be selling prints and ceramics, and I look forward to seeing what else other members of our community offer. It will open on Thursday, August 28th and run through Friday, September 5th on weekdays.

Sales times are a bit up in the air as it depends on when I can hire students for shifts, but should be some subset of 1-5pm. Please stop by if you’re interested, and note that we only take cash or check.

Spring 2025 Courses

In Spring 2025 here at Morningside University, I will be teaching Graphic Design I, Painting I and II, Senior Art Seminar, Graphic Design Internship, Internship in Arts Administration, and Senior Project in Arts Administration. Enrollment in Senior Art Seminar has been steadily climbing, so keep your calendars open for all the exciting senior show receptions that will be happening in April and May!

The New Academic Year Has Begun

While I haven’t finished posting about my summer adventures, time is still progressing and the new academic year has begun! Today is the first day of classes this fall at Morningside University. I am teaching Design and Graphic Design I as well as overseeing Graphic Design Internship and Advanced Studies in Graphic Design.

It’s fun to get to see familiar and new faces, and I’m looking forward to getting to see all the new artwork my students will be making!

New Year, New Semester!

In Spring 2024, I will be teaching Graphic Design I, Painting I, Advanced Studies in Ceramics, Arts Internship, Arts Administration Internship, Senior Art Seminar, and Arts Administration Senior Project at Morningside University.

The 2023-24 Academic Year Has Begun!

Time flies, and we’re starting up another school year again! This Fall 2023 I will be teaching Design, Graphic Design I, Graphic Design Internship, and Advanced Studies in Graphic Design at Morningside University. I will also be taking Intro to Japanese!

Spring 2023 Classes

Happy New Year! This spring 2023, I will be teaching ART 210 Graphic Design I, ART 225 Painting I, ART 470 Graphic Design Internship, and ART 490 Senior Art Seminar here at Morningside University.

Another Academic Year Begins!

Though we began having faculty meetings and events last week, classes start this Wednesday here at Morningside University. I will be teaching ART 103 Design, ART 210 Graphic Design I, ART 405 Advanced Studies in Graphic Design, and ART 470 Graphic Design Internship this semester!

Spring 2022 Classes

Well, last week we wrapped up the Fall 2021 semester, and next up is Spring 2022! I will be teaching Graphic Design I, Painting I, Painting II, Graphic Design Internship, Advanced Studies in Drawing, Graphic Design, and Sculpture, and Senior Art Seminar.

Fall 2020 Courses

I am teaching ART 103 Design and ART 210 Graphic Design I in addition to overseeing ART 401 Advanced Studies: Design this semester, and today is the first day of classes here at Morningside College! Given the pandemic, I’ve been working hard all summer at adapting Design and Graphic Design I to accommodate a hybrid and/or remote learning model if necessary. I have really enjoyed using the software VidGrid to record video lectures for asynchronous content delivery!

The End of the Semester!

I can’t believe it’s already the end of the semester; my Design and Drawing classes are almost wrapped up, and finals are next week - then we’re on to winter break!

I’ll be teaching Figure Drawing and Painting for Spring 2020, as well as co-teaching Senior Seminar and overseeing a number of internships.

Fall 2018 Teaching Schedule!

It's that time of year - this morning USM held its annual matriculation ceremony, and tomorrow classes start!  I will be teaching Sculpture, Painting I, Typography, and Art Career Internship.  I'm looking forward to meeting new students and hearing how returning students have spent their summers!

A New Year, a New Semester!

It's that time again!  Spring 2018 at USM will start on Monday, January 15th, and with it, my courses: Introduction to Printmaking, Computer Graphics, Advanced Honors Seminar in Interdisciplinary Art, and Art Career Internship, Advanced Studios, and Senior Exhibit (the latter three counting together as one course load).

I look forward to seeing new and returning students and all the new artwork they'll produce!

Spring Classes are Coming!

The Spring 2017 semester is almost upon us!  At the University of Saint Mary, we commemorate Martin Luther King Day instead of taking it as a holiday, so Monday was slated to be out first day of classes... but the weather has other plans, and to avoid the predicted ice storm and attempt to help unravel the resultant travel complications our students are already facing, we have canceled classes on Monday and will instead begin Spring 2017 classes on Tuesday.

This semester, I am teaching an overload (five classes instead of my typical four): Basic Design, Drawing II, Typography, Honors Seminar: Interdisciplinary Art, and Art Career Internship/Advanced Studios/Senior Exhibit.  The overload is due to taking on the Honors Seminar; I'm very excited about it as I got to create the class entirely with our honor student population and my own academic interests in mind.
