Evolving Expressions
Art from Continuing Education Spring 2024 Online Classes
Evolving Expressions: Art from Continuing Education Spring 2024 Online Classes, showcases the artwork of students from the continuing education programs' spring term classes. This exhibition features examples of classwork and personal projects to demonstrate how students apply the skills learned in class to enhance their studio practice and individual artistic growth. Each student was asked to submit classroom work and personal projects, to be displayed side-by-side in our online gallery.
This exhibition was curated by Tabitha Whitley. Whitley, born in Brooklyn, New York, is a multifaceted artist known for her vibrant paintings, luminous drawings, and bold prints. Her work delves into themes of identity, heritage, and interconnectedness with nature. Through the use of vivid colors in her paintings, Whitley adds a dynamic layer of expression to her art. Whitley earned her BFA in Painting from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2009. Followed by an MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art in 2011, where she also served as the President of the Alumni Association and on the Board of Trustees. Her work has been widely exhibited, with notable shows including the "Love Black" exhibition at the Springfield Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum’s “Brooklyn Artist Exhibition.” Whitley’s art has also garnered attention in esteemed publications such as The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian. Currently residing in her native Brooklyn, New York, Tabitha Whitley continues to pursue her studio practice, creating art that reflects her deep engagement with personal and universal themes.
