MFA in Writing Alumna Lauren Rusk's Book

Lauren Rusk's book, Pictures in the Firestorm, grew out of her work in VCFA's MFA in Writing program. Lauren graduated in 2005, and then did an additional postgraduate semester to refine and extend her thesis for the book manuscript. Lauren worked with faculty member Betsy Sholl for her thesis and postgraduate semesters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Points of View

Dawn Crescitelli
MFA Visual Art Alumna

"This program awakened the activist spirit in me. I am more aware and involved in making work engaged in a discourse about social issues which affect the earth and its inhabitants.I am a new person. I can never go back to the old way of looking at art or the world again."
