Abstract

In this thesis I examine concepts of identity, time and space as I have investigated related influences and methodologies within my studio practice, during my time of study at the University of Washington, Seattle’s School of Art, Painting + Drawing Graduate Program. My thesis projects, exhibited at both the Henry Art Gallery and Sand Point Gallery, represent my interest in the effects of our geological and biological history and the inspiration of the natures and inherent behaviors of water and earth. Advisors/Committee Members: O'Toole, Helen (advisor).
