Hello everyone! 

Sorry for the radio silence here in the NEWS portion -- 
I am revamping how I will utilize this space, particularly with the pause that COVID has forced into all of our lives.

I am please to announce that I am now a professor in the Honors Department at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. I teach two courses there, "The Intersection of Art and Science: Fantastical Mergings" and "The Quiet One: The Lost Art of Musing."

I have also extended my studio space so more work is on the way! I am still collaborating with Ecovative Design and have a new series of fungal sculptures in the works.

I hope you have all been well and stay tuned for more work! 
Feel free to follow my progress more on instagram: @CVPetersonStudios

Until later, cheers!

​So I am proud to announce that I am a participant in the "Universal Sea - Pure or Plastic?!" exhibition/competition opportunity.  
I now wish to ask everyone and anyone of interest to vote for me! This vote would get me one step closer to actualizing the project I am proposing in Budapest in the fall of 2018!

All you have to do is click this link, click the “VOTE” button and TA-DA! You have helped me out greatly!

Friday the 26th of February I attended the most wonderful Comic Exhibition. Swiss comic artist Anja Wicki had a show at her residency apartment to show the work she had created over the last four months. Her work has subtly deep story lines depicted in one of the most elegant styles of drawing I have seen. It was an intimate, welcoming atmosphere and I was honored to have attended.

Eva's piece was a dark comedy that had us in the room both laughing, and wondering how we could be laughing at these reenactments off murders. Her artist talk at 6018 N Gallery was equally fascinating. 
It was such a pleasure to meet you, Eva.
