artist talk

Hey friends,

I was invited to do a presentation at the annual SC Art Education Association 2025 Conference.  A couple of weeks before the conference, I realized that I was also scheduled to do an artist talk.  This was a result of my own confusion.  I'm always happy to provide an artist talk and I usually have one I can pull from my computer (or my butt), but as I was going through my latest one, I was bored by it so I decided to delete it two days before the conference.  I figured that the artist talk should be engaging for me too, right?  So I started making a new one.  


I have a couple of students who seemed interested but couldn't attend the conference.  They asked me to record my presentation and my artist talk.  I forgot to press record when I started my presentation but I did remember the next day as I started my artist talk.  Thanks to them, I have a file I can share with you.  


If you're interested in how my artwork developed from grad school to now (and if you have a good imagination to use since you can't see the slides), oh, and if you have about an hour to spare, here's the link to the audio file:
