Favorite memory of life at Carleton
“Spending time working in the printshop at Boliou was one of my favorite things to do at Carleton. I also liked sitting and looking at magazines by the big window at Boliou. Last time I visited I did just that.”
Favorite memory of studying with Fred Hagstrom
“My favorite memories of Fred were the summer that he and I worked together on a grant project he encouraged me to apply for. Through that project I learned how to do stone lithography, feel in love with printmaking and developed a line of inquiry in my work that still sustains me today. Another thing I liked is that he often made his work right alongside us students. It was great to see him working, I learned a lot about hard work through that as well.”
