Italy Series: Summer 2004

I made these pieces the Summer of 2004 while studying at the International School of Art in Montecastello di Vibio, Italy. At the school, I had the privelege of working with such great teachers as Ying Li, Martha Armstrong, Dan Gustin, Eric Holtzman and Richard Lytle. My subject matters of choice were the Umbria countryside, our wonderful model Andrea, my own self, and the backroads of Montecastello.
