What started as a grad school end-of-term research paper and a large canvas oil painting in 2007 on self-study research methodology at George Mason University using art as a way of self-expression and development as a researcher subsequently led to an AERA presentation and a publication in an online research journal (TQR). The article has now been downloaded and (probably) read and cited about 100 times across the globe. The work is emblematic of my being as an artist, researcher, and an evaluator. A happy moment.
