Following are selected student images from 2006-2010, while teaching in my current position at UNC Charlotte. As I am the only full-time professor of Print Media, I am responsible for teaching Silkscreen, Lithography, Intaglio, Relief, and we also incorporate many aspects of Digital and Mixed-media/methods. I am constantly amazed by the variety of ways students employ Print Media methods to serve their work. This crosssection of work has been made by Print Media majors as well as non-print majors, and students from outside the art program.
