Sarah VanKeuren, Martha Madigan, Emmet Gowin @ The Woodmere Art Museum

Tonight George and I went to the Triennial of Contemporary Photography at The Woodmere Art Museum. Sarah VanKeuren is a former professor of mine and in many ways an enormous inspiration to me. Her work in this show is fantastic and beautiful, as it usually is. If you missed the opening you should not miss seeing the show while it is up! There are beautiful prints by Martha Madigan, Emmet Gowin, Daniel Traub and several others!!! Although the Woodmere may be a hike to those of you without a set of wheels it's always worth it and a trip to Chestnut Hill is always a nice escape from the city.

A little shoutout

I'm really fortunate to have such an amazing living situation. My roommate Dustin and I are going on our second year living together. We were friends at UArts and are lucky enough that we have remained great friends after doing one another's dishes over the past year. Dustin is also a fantastic photographer finishing his MFA at Tyler School of Art. Many of his images are not only from Philly but all over the world!

My boyfriend George, who is often considered our 3rd roommate, is also a wonderful artist. He is currently making a living building other artist's websites and at the same time dabbling in fibers in anticipation for grad school. I sometimes take for granted how talented he is but was recently reminded when showing a friend a few of his recent websites. Here are a few of them as well as his website (he is also revamping his website so check back for some really awesome updates).

Vince Feldman @ Tyler

A former professor and mentor of mine, Vincent Feldman, has a show at the Tyler School of Art. As far as I know there is no opening but I always enjoy seeing his work when he shows it. His work is amazing and I respect him a lot. Here is a link to his site:
