AIR Presentation: Painter Robert Ross

Robert Ross (May 1-14), a resident of Altamonte Springs, Florida, will create a series of paintings that explore abandoned Port Oneida farmsteads. He’ll focus on the Burfiend and Thoreson farms, examining how the homes, barns and sheds built by these settlers shaped the environment and continue to shape it. Ross received his MA from the University of Michigan and maintains a full-time studio practice in Winter Park, Florida. Presentation: May 12, 7:30 p.m.

The artist residencies allow practicing artists to focus on a specific creative proposal. As part of the Artist-in-Residence program, each resident makes a public presentation about their stay and the work they undertook on the final Thursday of their residency.
