Sally with Chiayi students

Sabbatical in Taiwan

Sally Machlis was on sabbatical in Taiwan for the fall semester of 2007. As a visiting artist at National Chiayi University, she co-taught Sociology of Art, conducted studio critiques, and delivered lectures at four universities. Most importantly, she had time to work on her own artwork. She attended classes in calligraphy and Chinese brush painting to familiarize her with the traditional medium of ink. In addition, Machlis had two solo exhibitions of mixed media artwork, one at National Chiayi University and one at the Art Center of National Yunlin University of Science and Technology. She also enjoyed the art, culture, sights, food and friendly people of the beautiful island of Taiwan. explore »
