Nell Painter’s Encore Career

Nell Painter is currently a BFA student at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers-the State University of New Jersey. Here are three pieces of her student work from 2007:

	In her year-end review the professors said the ineptness of this self-portrait showed she would never succeed as a painter of the figure.
	This dog sculpture gave her great respect for the ability of animals to support themselves on their own four (or two) feet.
	Memory Piece was one of her projects in printmaking class at SUNY-Plattsburgh.
