Art is essential for everyone; it helps us celebrate our own creativity and stay connected to each other.
I show my work in galleries around the country, and I love painting murals. To check out my walls at Facebook, Starbucks, Amazon, and international mural festivals, follow this LINK. To see my paintings, head to my WEBSITE or visit me on Instagram @themaryiverson . I am really proud of being the cover artist for Juxtapoz Magazine in 2015. Here is the link to the feature in Juxtapoz!
As for my own experience as a student, I loved being a part of college art programs and I cherish the inspiring friends I met there. In the art department at SVC, you will find that same great feeling of comeraderie and joy for the arts. The schools I attended were the University of Washington, where I earned my MFA in painting, and Cornish College of the Arts, where I earned my BFA in Illustration, graduating magna cum laude.
This Learning Community combines Drawing Class and Biology Class for a 10 credit course. This is one of the final projects for the class, by Dannica. For this project, students chosse a specimen and explore aspects of its biology and visual beauty.
Here is an example of student work for my "Message in a Bottle" project. For this assignment, students create three distinct designs: 1. A message to get rescued, 2. A message to someone you care about, 3. How you feel on the island. It's the first project in the class and students have fun deciphering each others' messages.
In Painting Class every Spring Quarter we paint murals!
The best part about painting murals is working together and having fun!
