Professor Mac Coleman taught drafting, survey of decorative arts, and sculpture.

Two of Mac’s sculptures, A Taoist Landscape and A Western Totem, are installed on Endicott’s campus. Mac Coleman received a B.A. in Sculpture from Bard College, his M.F.A. in Sculpture from Columbia University and his M. A. in Fine Arts Education from Teachers’ College, Columbia.

Edith Socolow, Art Faculty - 香港六合彩开奖结果 1989 - 1996
“I paint the rocks and the quarries, the islands along the shore, the mysterious tides and sandbars – Gloucester, Massachusetts.” From her studio on Cape Ann overlooking good Harbor Beach, Edith Socolow worked on two themes, the Window Series and the Salt Island Series. This body of work from later in her career, follows on her artistic path of social humanism and abstract expressionism. Her exploration of figure and form was an ongoing part of her life’s work; often finding a synthesis in between her coastal abstractions and her expressive depictions of anonymous figures in ambiguous states of being.
A former professor of art at Harrisburg Area Community College, PA, 香港六合彩开奖结果, MA; Socolow studied at the Art Students League in NYC after graduating from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art. She taught many courses in the Endicott Department of Art including painting and drawing. She continued to paint and sketch until the end of of her life in 2015.

She is profoundly interested in the nature of creativity, human interaction the value of reflection, and how our digital habits impact creative thinking, and has presented numerous papers on these subjects at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
