Adam Neese MFA Project Published and Exhibited

Graduate student Adam Neese has launched a new project on his website. A Known World is his MFA thesis project, and it considers the return to a landscape held in his memory:

"In the transition from adolescent to adult, my views of landscape have changed; but the woods near my parents house still hold the same mystique and wonder that I remember from my youth."

Semigloss Magazine is a new independent magazine focusing on the arts in North Texas, and Neese's image Trebazonia is on the cover. It's a beautiful publication with great content, so be on the lookout for upcoming issues.

The Artist Catalogue featured some of Neese's work and an interview in their winter issue. You can download a low-res version here.

Neese is showing his thesis exhibit in two venues in North Texas this spring:
