Guest Judge

Art on the Fox would like to thank McHenry County College for their ongoing support and participation. Artwork will be judged by Ms. Amy Ortiz, who teaches art history and art appreciation at the college.

 

Ms. Ortiz’s Bio –

I have a passion for all genres and mediums with a visual component, like music, performance, and arts of the body (fashion and body decoration). I am also keenly interested in the cult of personality, and how an artist's interaction with their audience becomes the main component of their work. I love it when the artist's greatest work is his or her self! I study contemporary art; a subject which is in constant flux and motion. Emerging artists and artists on the fringe will be the next generation's cultural arbiters.

I graduated with a BFA in Ceramics and Sculpture, and an MA in Contemporary Art History, Theory and Criticism from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a Ph.D in Art History/Material Culture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My specialty is the study of Outsider, Visionary, Self-Taught, Intuitive, and Vernacular traditions in American Art.
