Artist-in-Residence
The Artist-in-Residence Program in Painting and Drawing, initiated in 1982, was funded by a vacated full time faculty line in the Painting Area and constitutes, theoretically and pragmatically, a full time faculty position. At the undergraduate level, in both Painting and Drawing, the courses they teach represent one half of the total courses required in the Painting or Drawing Concentration. In Painting, all Junior Level Painting courses are taught by the AIR and in Drawing, two out of the four courses needed for the Drawing Concentration are taught by the AIR at either the Junior or Senior Levels.

As Resident Faculty, we recognize that we have an obligation to our students to maintain a certain level of objectivity, and to provide a continuity of ideas and familiarity with the students in our curriculum. We also recognize that teaching in the arts is not an objective enterprise; artists who are also teachers are still fundamentally inspired by their own sensibility. As the Resident Faculty, we work to maintain a knowledge of ideas current to the contemporary dialogue in painting and drawing, but we can neither express the same degree of enthusiasm for, nor an equal level of commitment to these ideas as can an artist whose work has been founded within the matrix of current discussion. Therefore, we bring usually younger artists to campus to represent the broad spectrum of current sensibilities clustered around Painting and Drawing holding sway in the art world today.

The AIR demonstrate the relevance and influence of their ideas with their fledgling but incisive exhibition record and with their ability to verbally connect the ideas central to their work to those extant in both the art world and the School of Art at the University of Tennessee. We find these exhibition criteria more cogent than teaching records and most of the AIR have reputations as artists, not teachers. The AIR is thus meant to add to the vitality and vibrancy of that dialectic engaged by the various faculty and students of the School of Art.

It should be noted of the images in the AIR Faculty section that most are of work contemporaneous with the artist’s residency here, as is the biographical information for the most part. These images, then, provide an encapsulated history of sorts.

To an astronomer the term averted vision refers to a means by which the eye can collect more light by not looking directly at an object. This is useful while trying to discern the subtle and faint details of very dim images. Ever since I was a child with a small telescope the idea has stirred me, anyone observing such an obscure fuzzy patch of light by lightly gazing around it may claim to see nothing at all, or one might see a slightly more significant patch of nothing at all.

I lived and worked as an artist in New York from 1990-97, and exhibited my work in solo exhibitions there as well as Boston and Chicago. I have been a recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant. My work has been written about in publications including The New York times, The Boston Globe, Art News, Art in America and The New Art Examiner. I currently live in a 165 year old log home in Knoxville, TN with my family, and I am flying by the seat of my pants.
