Sasha Parfenova


Hi everyone,

My name is Sasha Parfenova. I graduated from University of Missouri with a degree in Biology but have been making art for many years. This spring I completed a Post-Bacc program at Brandeis University in Studio Art.
Please check out my recent works at Google drive:


I’m interested in painting and drawing as well as print making and mixed media work. I’ve been incorporating these different media in designs based on patterns and motifs found in nature. I would like to experiment and explore a combination of digital and hand made designs.


Look forward to seeing you soon,
Sasha

Alex Johnson


Greetings Everyone,

My name is Alex and the website that I update most frequently is:

http://www.alexanderclaytonjohnson.com

In terms of making, my primary area of interest is the 2-D image with an affinity towards figural subject matter, but my objective right now is to incorporate this with other processes yet to be determined.

My secondary interest is making sound based work.

In terms of digesting art and culture,  I'm an omnivore who enjoys suspending personal judgement of work that I consume, engaging in debate, and trying to understand all forms of art within their respective contexts.

I wish everyone a happy and productive end of Summer,

-Alex

Before our first class

Hello Graduate Students in my Group Grad Critique class ( MFA6300 06-Tuesday nights).
I look forward to meeting you and seeing your work.
Since there are 14 of you I would like you to upload 3-5 pictures of your current work to this blog
by August 30. If you have a website please publish the link here. Just do one or another.
This way your fellow students and I can familiarize ourselves with your work before the first class.
Also, please indicate what is your area of interest.
The first class you will introduce yourselves, show your work and mention an artist who inspires you. This may have to run over the first 2 classes.

You are welcome to write me with questions. Here is my personal acct.  sandra.strk@gmail.com
My name is Sandra Stark but in the gmail there is no "a", so it is .strk@gmail.

I would appreciate if everyone writes back so I know you received this email.
You can just say YES in the reply or ask questions.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Sandra Stark
