about the program
The Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County is inviting artists with teaching experience to submit applications for the Spring cycle of the new Southeastern Artist in Residence (SEAR) program. The mission of the SEAR program is to provide a mid-career visual artist of exceptional artistic merit with an opportunity to lean into their craft through dedicated time, space, and funds to execute the completion of a body of work.
SEAR offers a range of benefits for artists and our community. Artists are given a focused environment to experiment and expand their body of work. Resident artists can dedicate time to career development without having to worry about studio space or equipment. The community gets to witness the creation of art in real time, exposing the public to diverse art forms that reflect the local culture and history. SEAR artists increase cultural understanding and draw visitors through workshops and gallery tours, impacting the artistic landscape of the Cape Fear region.

artist statement
Through the medium of comics, I aim to examine the connections between creativity and community: the act of creation vs. the final results, our perceptions in value between the two, and the role of "making" when it comes to fostering connection with our fellow humans. When art is a commodity, it isolates; when art is an activity, it unites.
