Since I am asking all of you to share some information about yourselves on your blog, I figured it would only be fair that I share a little as well.
My name is Jason Cole. I attended Bethel (College) back in the 1990s, graduating with a student-initiated major combining Art and Literature. I then moved to Memphis, TN, and worked for Youth Villages for several years. I earned my MFA in 2008 from Memphis College of Art and proceeded to teach as an adjunct instructor at a number of colleges and universities until I learned that Bethel University had instituted an art major and needed to hire a faculty member with an MFA! I immediately applied for the position and was fortunate enough to be hired 2011.
In 2004, I was married to the love of my life, Megan:
After nearly 18 years, a lot more gray, considerably longer hair on my head, and one late-arrival daughter, our family looks a bit different:
Our daughter, Augustana, is almost 6 years old and a bundle of energy. We had her a bit later in life (I was nearly 40 when she was born), so it would seem that God has a sense of humor because he gave us such a hyper child. She started Kindergarten back in August and is so far doing quite well. At least she seems to be smart!
When it comes to art, I dabble in a little of it all: painting, drawing, photography, digital, and video. If you are curious about my work, My website is

album of digital art.
I am looking forward to an interesting semester filled with unique work from all of you! Here we go!
I really like the way your blog looks, it's nice and simple. But I do have a bit of trouble reading your text that links to stuff. I think it's just my monitor's brightness though. Also, your family is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. You were 100% right. That link color wasn't showing up well on the lighter background. I went in and made adjustments as a result. Thanks.
