Jessica Lundberg Installation - Boston City Hall

Jessica Lundberg (VARTS 2011), is part of a great new exhibition at Boston City Hall. On view through November 30.  Way to go Jessica - you rock!

Jessica has a Tumblr page here: http://jessicalundberg.tumblr.com - though it's a little out of date.  C'mon Jess, update that bad boy - you're as bad as me!  We want to see this new work!

Beautiful Work - title Jess?

Fran's Walk Home

Some of you might remember Fran Camosse (VARTS 2008).  He's an amazing guy who has turned his life into an adventure.  Recently, he walked across country starting in Newport Oregon and ending at his home in Massachusetts.  You can read about his travels at mywalkhome.com.  Way to go Fran!

Life After Roger

Grey Swan, 2011 Daniel D'Aquila

I just heard from a former painting student, Daniel D'Aquila:

 "I graduated from Roger Williams in 2007 (majored in architecture, minored in painting)...  I havent done much at all with my architecture degree since I graduated, but for the last couple years Ive been doing a lot of painting in my spare time, and while theres still a lot of room for progress, Ive have improved considerably since my college days."

Yes, you have - great paintings brother! Keep wagging that brush Daniel and keep in touch.  We love hearing from Alumni.
