Emerging Practices celebrates the final graduating class from the Visual Arts Certificate offered by Online & Continuing Education (formerly the Faculty of Extension), as 2023 marks its the terminal year. Together, these 14 students exemplify the breadth of adult learners who have prioritized their free time to honing their skills as artists and what it means to be a lifelong learner. Though emergent as artists, they now share in the legacy of those incredible students and instructors before them.

Featuring work by:

Nicole Bedard; Lorelei Betke; Kelle Cloutier; Bushra Hanif; Brenda Hinton; Paula Kjosness; Kevin Lander; Di Lu; Cheryl Nargang; Samantha Olchove; Laura Querengesser; Patty Taverner; Rosemary Warrington; and Britta Yasinski

    Reflections from an artist: how to develop your own personal style

    Your artistic style isn't a final destination — it’s the result of every messy experiment and canvas along the way. MFA student Samantha McLeish explores why trial, error and a little bit of grace are the true keys to a signature style.
