Fresh Starts: SSU Painting Students

Fresh Starts, Sonoma State Art Majors

Fresh Starts features the work of students from the advanced painting class under the direction of Mark Perlman, Professor of Painting in the Art and Art History Department. One painting from each student was displayed along with an artist's statement and photograph, taken by Perlman, of each student in his or her studio. The subject matter from each artist is as unique as the themes they are exploring. 

For example, Emily Hoeck's "Sweet Servings" oil on panel depiction of a pie ignites more than the viewer's senses. "For inspiration, I simply look to indulgences and the sweet foods that people generally cannot resist," says Hoeck
