  • Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Arts Fay Ku, MS Art History, Criticism and Theory; MFA Studio Art ’06, was featured in The Utah Review and Uprise Art. “My most amazing teachers were those who saw the student not as a projection of their thoughts but instead were interested in seeing what I was most interested in expressing,” said Ku.

  • Hearts on Fire’s new chief creative officer, Yunjo Lee, who studied painting at Pratt from 1994 to 1998, was featured in Prestige. “Jewelry should be something that makes you feel joyful and confident,” she said, “but also, it has to be a beautiful object too.”

  • Ken Tisa, BFA ’68, was featured in Mutual Art. “Ken Tisa’s new exhibition ‘Portals’ celebrates his artistic legacy, featuring works by 17 former students inspired by his introspective, dream-based teaching approach,” writes Maya Garabedian. 

  • An exhibition by former professor Jason Stopa, MFA Fine Arts ’10, was reviewed in Art Dog Istanbul. “Stopa’s paintings begin with a grid-like structure, which he disrupts using arabesque forms and intuitive decisions, visually conveying themes of freedom and ecological sustainability within a modern city.”

  • Nicole Rifkin, BFA Communications Design (Illustration) ’14, was featured in Collateral“Nicole’s art often carries a cinematic touch, layered with narrative depth and a sense of movement.”

  • Dr. Mary McBride, chairperson of creative enterprise leadership (CEL), discussed designing action with DBA Chief Executive Deborah Dawton in a recent webinar about harnessing your creative powers to take decisive, impactful action.

  • Monica Santos Gil, BID ’15, is featured in a round-up of Puerto Rican fashion brands by Refinery29. “Founded by Monica Santos Gil after years of working in and witnessing the wastefulness of the fast fashion industry, Santos by Monica is a New York City-based sustainable brand known for its geometric bags crafted from cactus leather.”
