In this sense, I teach a lot of different media, foundational concepts and techniques and skills- from design to metal casting to effigy sculpture to perspective cartoon. I encourage students to experiment, build skills and see the connections betwixt the different media that they apply in their work. Materials, technique and procedure accept significant. This is an important idea every bit students learn to create work that reflects their experience in the world. What does it mean to sculpt the effigy like a classical master? How does it bear on the content of your work? Tin we notice means to stand for our ideas and ourselves that are more true to us and who nosotros are?"

Buswell received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and BFA from Oregon Land Academy. Buswell is a Hallie Ford Young man in the Visual Arts (2015) and a two-time recipient of the Career Opportunity Grant from the Oregon Arts Committee and Ford Family unit Foundation (2014 and 2011) and received an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission in 2018.

Those classes and teachers, at Sylvania, helped shape the artist I am today and helped class the teacher I accept get. I take pride in standing in the tradition of my teachers before me of being a creative and cultural guide to my students to help shape their time to come selves through art and cocky-expression.

I love teaching at PCC Rock Creek specifically because it feels like home to me.

All my works are self-portraits, a reflection of my life, from the expiry of my father to the joys of being alive. My images have been described as humorous, insightful, and disturbing. Many works are a play on words and imagery, with mythological creatures and a combination of homo and brute characters (logic and instinct) playing a vital role. I view my works as a window to another earth with reoccurring characters and themes. My work tiptoes between surreal and absurd. When making my art, I play the role of the viewer and try to capture a glimpse into this strange world, a world where anything is possible and where anything can, and often does, happen.

Crystal Schenk

• MFA 2007, Portland State University (Sculpture)
• BFA 1999, The School of the Fine art Plant of Chicago (Sculpture)

I primarily make sculpture and sculptural installations, although sometimes dabble in video, cartoon and knitting when the mood strikes. Rather than practicing material monogamy, my sculptures range from stained glass to magnets to expanding foam. I have a very labor-intensive and detail-oriented way of working, in which craftsmanship and material choices play a big office. Woven through what initially appear every bit visually disparate works are common themes of course construction, heritage, physical and mental illness, and the fluctuating perceptions of memory. While much of my subject matter is drawn from my past, the topics I explore are based on experiences we all share – bridging the gap between personal and public. Each piece captures a moment within a broader story, i that is left for the viewer to contemplate and permit their imagination consummate.

Schenk'south artwork has been widely published, including features in Sculpture, Arts and crafts, and Whitewall magazines. Art-st-urban, in Switzerland, represented her work at ArtBasel in 2013 and Open 18 in Venice Italy in 2015. Locally, her work was represented at the Oregon biennial, Portland 2010, and exhibited at Bullseye and Linfield galleries. She is currently working on national public commissions with her husband Shelby Davis, and locally their artwork can be seen on Division Street in Portland, and on Chief Street in Estacada.
