Losemygrip, Thank you for your input. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoy my work. May I ask why you didn't feel the fruits and vegetable paintings were strong? I quite enjoy them. And thank you for the school suggestions. I will look into those as well as the others I am considering. Also, I had no intention of showing my ceramic work as part of my portfolio but I did not consider them viewing the work on my website. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.

aethiryn, Thank you for the feedback. I agree with all of the points you made. I do know that I need editing. There is a distinguishable difference between some of my older and newer works that don't quite fit for a portfolio. The goal now is just to create new, cohesive works to add so I can have a complete portfolio. I found it interesting that you grouped my work into two separate collections (process and architecture). I seek out to have a balance between the two and the idea that one is winning out over the other is something to think about. And yes, my statement needs work. Oh, how I hate the statement. It is by far the most difficult part for me. I haven't quite figured out just exactly what I want to say or perhaps just the right way to say it. Applications are coming up fast so I'll be writing away soon and when I have a more solid statement I'll let you (everyone) know.

Hello All This coming december will mark my third year as a college graduate and it's high time I continue my education. I will be applying to an MFA program (undecided on a school) in the coming months and was looking for some advice and/or constructive criticism. My current goal is to make sure I have a coherent and complete portfolio. My work can be viewed on my website: http://allisontierney.weebly.com/ Also, I should note I am applying for painting.
