Ladies Enjoying Coffee |
I worked for a year to save
for college. I went to Massachusetts College of Art in 1982 and enrolled
in the very new SIM Program (studio of Inter-related media). I thought joining
a multi-media program would be great for me being both a painter and musician.
It was a disaster. Dadaism and John Cage ruled the day and the males in
the program controlled the recording studio.
I took another year off to save money to go to Boston's Musem School of Fine Art. I had given up multi-media dreams and decided to focus on being a painter only. My first year at Museum School was liberating. My work really loosened up. |
