Start to Finish

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”                                                      - Vincent van Gogh

“First forget inspiration.  Habit is more dependable. . . Habit is persistence in practice.”                   - Octavia Butler
 

Each year, the Senior Thesis Exhibition demonstrates the creative achievement of UMA’s most advanced Art majors. This year’s edition, “Start to Finish,” not only exhibits the results of these three artists’ year-long efforts in drawing, painting, digital design and collage, but also their creative processes.

The practice of art is labor-intensive work entailing many hours of planning, investigation, practice, and much trial and error; this exhibition proudly presents these artists’ innovative work, and offers a glimpse into its creative genesis in the studio.
