Have you ever wondered what it would be like to study under or work for a legendary artist like Maud Gatewood? Well on Thursday October 17, BRAHM Curator of Exhibitions and Collections, Ian Gabriel Wilson found out.

Wilson was joined in conversation with Charles Parker Boggs, former student and assistant of Maud Gatewood to find out what it was like making with Maud.

About the speaker: Charles Parker Boggs studied art under Maud Gatewood and Robert Marsh at Averett University, earning a B.A. degree for Art in 1991. He would go on to work for Gatewood in her studio for nearly a decade. Boggs earned his M.F.A. in painting from the University of North Carolina Greensboro in 1998 where he was awarded the Holderness Fellowship, the Howard Scholarship, and a Faculty Award. Charles was also awarded a VSC/UNCG Fellowship to participate in the Vermont Studio Center’s Residency Program. He is a native of Eastern Kentucky where he still maintains a studio.--
