Jon Beer (Painting, class of 2012): 
“My work is an exploration of memory and cognition;
I’m creating spaces and worlds where the past and present exist simultaneously.

 Jacob Hicks (Painting, class of 2012):
“I’m focused on the meaning of my name – Jacob – which means ‘to supplant.’
I supplant my visage and personal narrative into the continuously
reproduced mythologies of Western culture.”

Nicolas Holiber (Painting, class of 2012)
is currently painting a series of meat still lives that are about
our relationship to the animals we eat. Says Nic, “Eating is a moral act inextricably
bound to killing, and the implications and contradictions that arise out of that situation.”
