Photo or Paint

[nuna]

Hey Everybody,

It's my first day, not actually walking in the door, but simply requesting the catalogues and joining this forum.

As we all know, picking the best one is step one.

Looking at MFA programs for Fall 2012, particularly around L.A. (favorite) and Chicago or in the desert (NM?).

I am avoiding NYC due to a fear of people crushes and other reasons.

If I got accepted to Columbia, suppose I'd move there.

Nomadic practice (Seoul, L.A., Travel, Knoxville) for 2-3 yrs/ settled in Atlanta now.

Taught ESL for two years, intermediate Spanish speaker.

My painting mentor is Kristin Calabrese.

Major influences include Sally Mann, Hans Bellmer, Julie Heffernan, Nan Goldin.

Type A art student (Summa Cum Laude,University of TN, BFA 2006)

I'd like to go somewhere academically and technically challenging with good connections

1. Please look and offer any advice regarding painting and photography programs with LOTS of grants and scholarships.

"I'm so broke, hard-working, and talented, sheesh!"

2. I'm a photographer and painter (paintings are made from the photos).

It seems like the two don't meet when it comes to picking a department, any opinions?

Best Regards,

Karley Sullivan

p.s.

I love the warm weather, it's a factor.
