This is my current studio. Natural light spills in on the right hand side that makes this perfect for lighting special set ups for photography and video.

Just outside of my studio is an old woodworking shop full of 1990’s power tools. The shop will soon be transformed into a community makerspace with new light metal, updated wood and computer controlled fabrication tools; i.e., 3d printers, CNC routers, laser cuter, etc. CAC-MakerSpace_fWwall-smThe Bauhaus (1919-1933) had similar ideas about integrating fabrication skills and a broad understanding of materials and techniques that were part of an art students foundation. It is exciting to see all education moving in this direction – STEM / STEaM. The underpinnings of today’s movement is the new emphasis in cross disciplinary approaches to different kinds of problems.

The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 in the city of Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969). Its core objective was a radical concept: to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts.
