Hi everyone, I am Kim Phoenix. This is the first Art history class that I have taken; it will be my last as an underclassman. I will enter my
senior year in the fall and will be taking very packed semesters as I try to complete my degree by May. I have worked for the past 15 years
in the costume shop of the Theatre here at Cornell, sewing costume for the productions. As of May 2011 my position was eliminated soooo
I am finishing my degree through the Employee Degree program. I am enrolled in the Apparel Design Management program, which has lead
to my living in New York City for the summer doing an internship with the designer Natori. I am doing what is called technical design which
involves fitting the designs, also working with the manufacturing houses to make sure the clothing fits and looks like the designer envisioned.
I have always enjoyed the creative process of art and am looking forward to learning about the market. As a side note I have a cousin who
works for Christie's here in New York in their rare books collection so I am hoping to maybe get to see something there, I will keep you
posted. The picture is of me last summer fulfilling a life long dream going to Yellowstone National park and seeing Old Faithful. I did this
while visiting my son who lives just up the road in Big Sky, Montana.
