As we researched color schemes that Andy Warhol has used over the years, it dawned on us that we've never really introduced ourselves on this blog/daily-business journal.
So speaking in the third person...
parProjects is comprised of Chris Hoeting and Jonathan Sears.
Chris is a professionally trained painter and mixed media artist who attended UD (Ohio) for his undergraduate studies ...earning a dual-concentration BFA in painting and sculpture.
Jonathan is a professionally trained graphic artist who attended Barton College (North Carolina) for his undergraduate studies ...earning a dual-concentration BFA in graphic design and photography.
Both artists attended the UM (College Park) for graduate school ...and "equally" hold Master of Fine Arts degrees from the university in Studio Arts ...though Jonathan likes to tote being part of UM's first three-year fine art graduating class ...while Chris enjoys touting his perfect GPA through his two years of study.
By profession, both artists have held university-level teaching gigs ranging from the 100 to 300 level (teaching or having previously taught at The University of Maryland [College Park & Shady Grove campuses], The University of Dayton, Xavier University ...and a few community colleges along the way).
If interested, more is after the break...
parProjects
Both Chris and Jonathan are workhorses (who enjoy black & white cookies).
But, a little more specifically...
Chris currently teaches color theory and design at The University of Dayton while he continues creating his personal artwork ...which exhibits nationwide. He finds passion in research as well and is the chief curator of parProjects ...being, without a doubt, the more-read of the two. In other words, if you need to know nitty-gritty, historical data, he's (probably) the one to ask.
Jonathan on the other hand is a self-employed graphic designer (and exhibiting artist) who looks forward to getting back into the education circuit once he finds the proper balance within his many aspirations. He is the more outgoing of the two and enjoys the idea of hosting seamless events that open peoples' eyes to new experiences. He oftentimes lives in the moment and typically believes in philosophies along the lines of "The more, the merrier."
To say the least, the two balance one another out quite well.
Over the years, they have both, separately, hosted & curated fine-art exhibitions, fashion shows and events in Chicago, Cincinnati, Silver Spring (MD) and Washington, DC. They understand what it takes to put together enjoyable functions & educational experiences for the community and look forward to everything in their path ...both positive and negative ...finding reward in the journey.
But, this is just an introduction.
More about these two, why they've been researching Warhol of late and the team they're currently working with is on the way.
Cheers!
