I would like to remind everyone to STAY TUNED on some of the visiting artist's that we've been lucky enough to spend time with through the Diane Marek visiting artist series: these artists continue to impress me.

It just so happened that Summer Wheat was doing a talk at SCAD while I was in Savannah for my show. I attended and was thoroughly impressed by her new work. There are no pictures online yet, but she is basically still thinking of this piece at the cress, "Mud Room," and creating an entire installation referencing the life of the maid (from Vermeer's painting). She continues to challenge and blur the lines of painting -- mainly exploring casting paint from molds (reminded me of your wax castings, Laura!)

Her upcoming solo show is in March in NYC -- i hope we are there during our senior trip! =) Def. stay tuned. Truly magical! (here's a shot of her studio -- she got herself prepared for her magical show by putting tissue paper on her windows. Setting the vibe!

Here is the work at the cress that she continues to question: "What would be behind a Vemeer painting? What goes on the other side? What is the life of this maid like?"
