Today many of our students will graduate and begin the new part of their life. I almost always go to graduation and love to witness this important mark in their life. When I graduated with my undergrad degree, I did not go to the ceremony because I was not interested in the pomp and circumstance of it all. I had finished the quarter before and saw no reason to spend the money on the gown rental. I had moved on. But I missed that recognition of my accomplishment by not joining my friends at this life marker.
Today, I will mark theirs and celebrate the work they put in to get to this place. I will send them my hopes for a continued life making art, and making a difference. I will come to understand that my time with them will change. They will be come art colleagues. I will miss them.
