Fall semester 2014

“The SMCM-MICA Artist House residency gave me valuable teaching experience while allowing me to be fully immersed in the Art and Art History Department community – a rare opportunity for an adjunct professor. My studio work directly benefited from being in this environment and I couldn’t have made the recent discoveries in my work without this place.” – Katherine Gagnon
