EPJ Final Project Update

I contacted three subjects in March and have been waiting for two of them to come back to me for quite a few weeks. Now I think I have to give up the original idea and revise my whole storyline.

I have worked with one local artist instead of three. She is Marilyn Cummins, who has a studio in Orr Street and works there. Besides painting and drawing in the studio, she also takes art lessons there from Joel Sager, another local artist. She is also a member of a jazz band The Mere Mortals. She plays bass in the band. Marilyn is also a mother of a 15-year-old boy; her son is also a young musician at school choir.

Some of the pictures I have taken:

Marilyn at her studio
At PS Gallery where her works are on display

At Atlandish Gallery

Drawing in her studio

Rehearsal with her band

There will also be short video clip of interview, in which I would like to have her talk about what she feels about being an artist.
