I just found this picture of me and Brittney at round up two years ago, and couldn't stop smiling. We're wearing the dresses the square dancers made for us, by the way.

Ready for the next big project, and waiting on graduate decisions!

Self Portrait Video

This was a self portrait video created for one graduate school's application

Still waiting to hear the results on all of them, fingers crossed!

January 2011

My solo show in November was a complete success. There was a great turn out and both films were received very well. A lot of the local square dancers were there and saw the film and framed photographs for the first time, as well as Victor's (Elvis) parents. Here are a few photos from the install and reception:

I submitted three portfolio packets for graduate admissions on new years Eve, out with the old and in with the new in 2011. The same day I received a fortune cookie that read 'You will soon be on top of the world.' I then took it a step further by researching 'New Years traditions (and meanings)' and made vegetarian black eyed peas and brown rice with cornbread (for luck), cabbage (for scholarships and monetary success), and a round vegan chocolate cake (for resolutions) all from scratch. I know that these traditions may or may not hold any relevance in the upcoming months but I didn't want to start the year off with any negativity.

As of now I have applied to 4 of my 7 possible graduate schools, and results should be sent March 1st. Next weekend the juried group documentary exhibition 'Storytelling' will be hung at the L. Nowlin Gallery, a show I am thrilled to be a part of. The reception is in Austin on January 15th from 6-8 pm, hope to see you all there!
