Julia Coash holds degrees in Painting, Higher Education and Ethnographic Photography. In conjunction with these studies she has completed field work and research projects on "Attitudes Towards Nature in Chinese Painting During the Sung Dynasty"; "The Evolution of Design and Style in Navajo Weaving"; and "The Weaving Techniques Forms and Styles of Tarabuco, Bolivia". She has held teaching positions at the American University in Cairo, Bermuda College and colleges in the USA. As a practicing painter she has exhibited her work in Bermuda, Paris, Cairo, and throughout the United States. “My interests in anthropology, travel, global arts, and cross-cultural exchange inform my teaching, research and painting. My students are encouraged to reflect upon how ideas, values, and materials from their personal lives and interests could be a source of inspiration in their studies and studio work. In art history classes, for example, I try to make connections between the influences of travel, technology, and literature on specific art movements. Understanding such connections encourages students to make further associations between studied disciplines as well as in their own work.” |
