On behalf of the Art Department and its community of artists, past and present, we would like to acknowledge and thank graduate advisor, Carol Talley, for more than a decade of her dedication and mentorship on this campus and in our department. Carol will be retiring this week to pursue her work full time as an exquisite and successful landscape painter/educator. http://caroltalley.com/
We welcome recent grad, Megan Koth, who will be stepping into the post as interim graduate advisor. Her fresh experience as an MFA from our program and the dedication that she demonstrates in her own painting practice bodes well in guiding our graduates and faculty through this unprecedented time of transition.
https://www.arts.ucsb.edu/people/graduates-2020/

Carol has served our faculty and students tirelessly in successfully mentoring generations of our graduate artists to navigate their academic and professional lives. She has deftly guided each graduate cohort from their early admissions through two years of their MFA experience and beyond, advocating for their support every step of the way. She has facilitated our students and faculty in working together to assure a productive and meaningful environment, in which we can all thrive as artists.
Please extend your gratitude and support to Carol and Megan, as they pass the baton, assuring that all the T’s* are crossed across the finish line, which, as we all know, is just the beginning...

Really compelling work from students in 7A Art and Life, while working from home! @echochochoc “The Shelter”
By Echo Zheng

Description: This a sculpture of a shelter based on the shape of the N-95 facial mask. My inspiration comes from the current COVID-19 pandemic. Through this piece of work, I hope to convey the signal of danger and consciousness of self-protection to the society during this period. Also, I want to tell people who are staying at home and isolating that they are not alone and we are fighting against the virus together.
