She is also a 2002 alum of Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Raimundi-Ortiz is currently an associate professor of studio art at the University of Central Florida.

The purpose of the Visual Voices course and the program is to broaden students’ exposure and vocabulary to professional work being created today. It also provides an opportunity for Art & Design students and members of the public to interact with speakers via a virtual Q&A following their lecture, giving them the chance to exchange ideas and pose questions to the guest speakers.

This semester our Visual Voices lecture series will be presented live virtually via Zoom.

If you miss the live presentations, recordings of the lectures will be available one week after the live event and will remain viewable until the close of the semester. Recordings of the lectures will be available at https://art.gmu.edu/visual-voices/.
