Meet the Visual Arts Faculty: Faculty Art Show

The Visual Arts Department is pleased and proud to introduce our new visual arts faculty members as well as celebrate the work of our returning faculty in an exhibition of faculty work in the Panther Hall Gallery.

As our Visual Arts faculty members are teaching artists, they concurrently develop their own work and teach. They bring the skills and creative process of their own experience to the art classroom and the students of Ranney School are the beneficiaries of this experience.

Please welcome:
Caryn Blum to our Lower School faculty. Her work is represented by her sketchbook on display. The regimen of working in a sketchbook as a regular practice provides a model of creative problem solving, observation of nature and daily discipline so important to the creative process.

Please welcome:
Marilyn Casey to our Upper School faculty. Her paintings demonstrate the practice of working in series to explore an idea in its many forms. Taking a concept and looking at it from a variety of ways; experimentation within a set of rules imposed by the artist is another model of artistic practice.

We also celebrate the work of Madeleine McCarthy who completed her second summer of professional development in Greece studying the art and techniques of traditional Raku ceramic firing. Her professional development has directly led to the building of two Raku kilns that Ranney students are able to use and beautiful new techniques students can achieve in their own work.

It is my honor to show my work with these teaching artists from my series of hand-painted monoprints. The series explores the relationship between gender and clothing. Working from the same printing plate, the images are changed by adjustments to the amount of ink, the amount of wiping of the plate and the hand coloring that is done after the plate is printed. The materials and techniques used here are all available to students at Ranney to try or master.

We also look forward to Upper School Photography teacher Andrew Sullivan’s return on Oct. 1!
