Debbie Kaufman
The current MFA thesis exhibition titled “Transposition,” located at the Ulrich Art Museum on the campus of Wichita State University. The show is a must see. The work is outstanding to the caliper need in the art world today. The collection is a combination of paintings along with hand made paper, and printmaking. Many of the ideas Debbie uses are based around the figure and the environment around the figure are of least concern to how the viewer confronts the work. I was surprised to see an artist present work using a vast amount of different media. She mentioned to me that when she approaches the canvas she allows an intuitive work ethic to take over and when the feeling she is experiencing develops within the composition she calls the work finished. Debbie plans to spend the summer exploring her option is the teaching field in the state of Kansas.
