Connect with SCAD alumni artists Jeremiah Jossim (B.F.A., photography, 2010) and Gretchen Wagner (M.F.A., painting, 2023; B.F.A., fibers, 2011) in conversation with SCAD Museum of Art assistant curator Haley Clouser as they discuss correlations between the works on view in Patterned Fields. This two-person exhibition presents paintings and prints that reverberate with color and mesmerizing designs, revealing the artists’ shared interest in pattern and how it can transform the picture plane.

About the artists
Jeremiah Jossim earned an M.F.A. in painting from the University of Florida in 2023 and received his B.F.A. in photography from SCAD in 2010. Jossim has participated in residencies at the Wassaic Project and the Hambidge Center, and his work was recently published in New American Painting's South and M.F.A. editions. Jossim’s practice speaks to a deep reverence for the American landscape but also questions the privileges of recreation, tourism, and who has the right to explore and live alternatively in the U.S. Jossim lives and works in Gainesville, Fla.

Gretchen Wagner is an artist and designer whose work is influenced by the use of colors and their interactions as applied in built space. Over the course of her 10-year career, she has worked closely with both clients and manufacturers to address material, color, and trend research. She graduated with a B.F.A. in fibers and an M.F.A. in painting from SCAD where she is a professor of foundation studies. Wagner continues to consult with industry partners while furthering her experiments and research surrounding color and theory. She lives and works in Atlanta.

This event is free and open to the public.
