The Chicago Tribune weekend magazine Sunday featured SAIC alumna Claire Sherman (MFA 2005) and Carrie Schneider (MFA 2007) in its July 8 edition (circ. 779,440). In "The Art of Inspiration”, landscape painter Sherman and photographer Schneider both talk about their inspirations and career paths. Sherman tells reporter Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz that "inspiration does not come as an ‘aha’ moment, but evolves, through trial and error, over time…. It’s the experiment that helps me come up with a new idea.” Schneider says in her interview with Heidi Stevens that her inspiration "is never far from home. Friends and family, especially my relationship with my older brother…. I think the loving and caring and element of tension in family is so worthy of exploring.”
