Life Lately

My words often are the same, or at least it seems my beginnings often are. So here's an attempt to shine a bit of light on what I have been doing and where I have been in these past few months.

I am teaching - nothing new about that. I have been doing so for years now at various colleges and institutions, but this fall I started a full time position teaching printmaking at Orange Coast College. Almost five years has pasted since screen printing was last taught at OCC and so the biggest job to date have been getting the shop up and running. It's not been easy as I have had to deal with issues that range from the wiring in the room, installation of new equipment and what now seems to be constant breaking of the old equipment. The photo is an image of the studio earlier this fall as I started working on it. We are now in week five of classes and the students are happy printers!

As with any new job, the position is keeping me busier than imagined it would as I adapt to the college and its inner workings and policies. Having taught part-time for a few years now, I must admit to being happy to have my own office! Complete with sassy red chairs and table legs!
