“MIAD helped me to learn to pay attention to the world around and inside of me…”
Jean White
BFA Drawing, 1982
Jean White is a practicing visual artist, represented by the Elaine Erickson Gallery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. White feels, “MIAD gave me a very strong foundation, learning the basics in the disciplines of drawing, painting and sculpture. I fell in love with drawing. So much of creativity is not only about rendering and representation. MIAD helped me to learn to pay attention to the world around and inside of me. I learned as much about translating what I saw on to the page, as I did in thinking and observing in new and different ways. MIAD gave me the tools to help find my own way through art.”
White also said, “Art isn’t only about the physical act of creating. It is about remaining aware and finding reverence for the world in front of you. Art has saved my life countless times. I am grateful for my MIAD experience.”
