Students began the term painting at Imagination Station and in downtown Toledo. They then moved to the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. One of the challenges is transporting materials to and from the site.

CARoline JArdine
Caroline Jardine received her BFA in 2017 and is currently teaching art at St. Ursula's in Ottawa Hills, OH.
Caroline's artwork confronts and reflects upon how her struggles with anorexia and the process of recovering from the disease have emotionally affected my family. The portraits are created from layers of spray paint, acrylic, colored pencil, and wax on wood panels. The multitude of layers illustrates the depth and complexity of anorexia and recovery. I chose to saturate the portraits with colors that were calming and haunting. They represent the duality of my family’s relief of recovery and the knowledge that we are haunted with the past of my starvation and the threat of relapse.
