It has been a long and hard journey pursuing an MFA degree. After three and a half years at Texas A&M Commerce, I was able to see the fruition of my body of work in the University Gallery for the MFA show. The opening was Tuesday April 27 at 5:00pm. One of the sculpture installations set up was a piece that I made the first semester in Commerce in 2007 titled Shipwreck Domino's. During the opening, everyone watched and listened intently as the slices of domino's from ship hull forms fell over. A total of 15 pieces were included in the show titled Resurrected. It was a wonderful experience to see the work together and enjoy visiting with those who attended. I took my 3D Design class later for them to see it in person. It feels tremendous to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am very happy with the work and how I have matured and grown in the past few years. It is been an experience I will never forget. I am applying for two opportunities for the future: a teaching position at TJC and a residency at VCU. Less than two weeks to graduation! Meanwhile, I am finishing up with the 3D Design class on their last project and finalizing the thesis paper.
