Artist Profile: LYNN SCHAEFER
Where did you get inspiration for this particular series? I started to experiment with the concept of tubes after designing a custom shoe case for a company called Nfinity in Atlanta.

Battle of the Bibimbap!
During spring break I made a discovery. I tasted a dish that had been on my To-Eat list for a long time: bibimbap. Take a few seconds to absorb that – I know the name is different than a burger or salad. It’s different because it is a Korean dish! […]

Artist Profile: DANTE GARCIA
What’s your favorite material to work with? Easily a pencil or pen. I’m an old school doodler. Anytime I’m in class my pen or pencil is right at hand. It’s what I feel most natural with. Otherwise, I put a lot of energy into what I’m creating, so I like […]
