Hi Renee, I did my MFA at Cal State Long Beach in 2007. It is a new and growing program, but it is the only school in LA or Orange county CA that has a metals MFA. Can you believe that? Furthermore, the last grad to go through the program before me finished in 2003. We now have 5 grads working toward a metals degree. We have great facilities with traditional metals, foundry, and blacksmithing areas all under the metals program. Most of our seminar classes are interdisciplinary or with sculpture students leading to a higher level of conceptual content than pure beauty / adornment in our work. Between CSULB and Long Beach City College, we produce a good number of BFA and AA students that move on to other cities. It is a shame that we did not get to meet in Philly. I am interested in learning more about your work and your underlying concepts. Do you do any writing?
Cheers, MDB

Hi, Renee!
I have enjoyed looking at your work for so long -- how nice to be able to see an entire body of it here! So enigmatic and thought provoking. Also love the "countertop" display method; that seems very appropriate.
Keep up the good work!
best regards,
nisa blackmon

Hi Renee, Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. We have unexpected houseguests. My nieces came in for the weekend and decided to stay a few more days. I've been busy keeping them busy ;) I am so sorry about your cat's illness, I hope things go well (Friday?) Funny...I was thinking I might drive over to the MSG show and back myself on Saturday. Maybe carpool? We could have that coffie on the way.
