Marta A. Rauch, B.A. 1984 in Art History is a technical writer. She is grateful for the excellent education she received in Stanford. Her art history classes were excellent preparation for the analysis, research, and writing that she does every day in my career as a technical writer. She is active with Stanford's student mentor program, and she always tells students that humanities classes and art history in particular are great preparation for any career, including high tech. She has been a tech writer for about 15 years, and is thankful for the research and writing skills she learned that were honed in her art history classes. The class that was most relevant to her work today was a museum research class, where she chose a drawing from the Stanford Museum's basement archives and worked with the curators to do research on the artist and the piece to develop information for the museum's catalog. Marta will never forget the thrill of being able to attribute this sketch from over 100 years ago to a specific place (a particular church in England), day (a day on the artist's honeymoon -- her sketch turned out to be a page from the sketchbook the artist took on his honeymoon, and she knew the newlyweds' itinerary), and time of day (by an analysis of the floor plan of the church, other depictions of the grounds, and the shadows depicted in the work). She also wants to thank Jody Maxmin in particular, for all her encouragement and her fascinating, thought-provoking, and illuminating lectures, which helped teach me to think. She also appreciates her other wonderful art history professors, like Elsen and Turner, to name a few, as well as her studio art professors and her advisor Wanda Korn. Her experience with the Stanford art history department was rich and fulfilling, and she is always thankful for the opportunity to have been part of it.

For the past 6 years he’s had his own business, Elwood Studios, in Santa Cruz, where he’s been living since 1970. Randal’s work is marketing design, mostly for high tech companies, and mostly for print. He’s fortunate that throughout the 80s he was working for a company that sold computer products by catalog, as the personal computing industry got started. So he grew along with it, using a Mac and various software as it came along. Now he works remotely, without meeting most of his clients, from his office at the beach. That way he can make time to travel, go surfing and play tennis. Life is good. He still maintains an art studio, and currently he’s into using soft pastels as a drawing medium for action sketches and small-scale landscapes. He likes the instant gratification of bright colors combined with the sketchiness of drawing techniques. And, it's a great excuse to go cruising through
Big Sur.

Vicky Chaet, MFA 1973.  Her studio address is : 337 Frederick St., San Francisco 94117-3913, telephone (415) 665 5945 (Her art exposure diminishes as her bodily health demands more attention. Her last exhibition, of paintings, was in 2002.) This year, she will be part of artspan's San Francisco artspan open studios, in October. Her paintings and drawings have returned to their original purpose of her youth, that is, to fulfill that which words do not, to express that which otherwise, for her, is inexpressible. Her pictures tell her what she needs to know. To learn if they convey to another person what they are wanting, that is the purpose of her exhibitions. The support she gains through exhibition sales, that is also her need.

On January 11, 2003 two new babies, Hannah and Sophia, were born to Joel and his wife, Kim Morris.
     
Monica Blackmun Visona, B.A. 1974 in Art History, went on to earn an M.A. and Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara, specializing in the art of Africa. Her minor fields were Oceanic, Native American, and Ancient Mediterranean art. She has taught at a variety of institutions but is now an Associate Professor in the Art Department of Metropolitan State College of Denver. She is the principal author of  “A History of Art in Africa” (Abrams, 2000), which has won critical acclaim for its comprehensive approach to the art of the continent. CAA members can look up Chris Roy's online review of the book. In 2004-5 she will be a Senior Fellow at the National Museum of African Art of the Smithsonian Institution, working primarily on a manuscript placing her doctoral and post-doctoral fieldwork research into the context of the Akan world of West Africa. She also hopes to begin work on a thematic study of African architectural history. She is delighted that Stanford hired Dr. Manuel Jordan several years ago to supervise the African collections of the Cantor Center/Stanford Museum, and that he has been able to offer specialized courses on African art. She is also excited to learn more about the department's most recent hire, a specialist in the art of Africa (and the art of the diaspora?). Just as Dr. Michael Sullivan's courses on Chinese art gave her insights into both the universality and particularity of cultural traditions, these new courses on African art will allow undergraduates to be more imaginative, flexible, and curious critics of art worldwide. Finally, she would like to thank the department for the hospitality extended to alums at the annual receptions it sponsors at the College Art Association meetings. She has enjoyed these chances to meet graduate students and faculty.

Peter Brown, MFA 1977, with a specialization in Photography - studying particularly with Leo Holub - is in Houston working on a variety of projects, primarily involving the landscape and small towns of the Great Plains. A book came out in 1999 called On the Plains, which was an overview - everything from the Texas Coastal Prairie to the Canadian Plains. He is currently working on a two-year grant with five other photographers in the Llano Estacado, a high plateau in the western part of the Texas panhandle, an area the size of New England, which extends into New Mexico. It's a flat, surreal and oddly beautiful part of the world, with many interesting  (if troublesome) cultural, political and agricultural issues attached to it. It's a fascinating and overlooked place and he loves working in it. He also teaches and writes about photography, does some magazine work and has been involved with a number of novelists for cover work over the past few years, most recently Kent Haruf's great book Eventide.  His wife of sixteen years is Jill Fryar, a clinical social worker/child therapist, and they have a daughter, Caitlin who just returned from three weeks in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota on an Outward Bound trip. Lots of adventures and a nice life with a good bunch of friends in this odd, funky, boisterous city.
     
Cinda Gilliland, B.A. Drawing and Painting 1977. After graduation in 1977, she moved to NYC to an art world focused on discovering or creating the next cool trend. At Stanford she had avoided Design: not relevant to “pure” art to her young mind, and foolishly missed learning from Matt Kahn. However after starting off as a bookkeeper, she gradually became involved in other ways to earn a living, including starting a designer men's sweater business with a couple of partners. They designed and manufactured men's sweaters, and sold them nationally to stores like Neiman Marcus and Wilkes Bashford. Their sweaters were featured in fashion spreads in GQ, Playboy and other men's fashion magazines, but they never made money. With the birth of her daughter, Dana, in 1986, she felt a need for a profession and turned again to design, leaving energetic New York City behind to discover the tradition-steeped South, eventually earning an MLA from University of Virginia in 1992. In 1993 she moved back to her native environment, California, to live in her hometown, San Rafael, and to practice landscape architecture at the SWA Group in Sausalito. Cinda has been at SWA ever since, revisiting Stanford to participate in the design and construction of the new Alumni Center gardens and additions to the Cantor Museum and the Graduate School of Business among others. Other interesting projects include a campus for Silicon Graphics and the Milpitas City Hall. In 2000 she married Lawrence Reed, another landscape architect, gaining a son, William in the process. They now reside in peaceful Petaluma.

Mandy Minderhout, B.A. 1977 in Art History, MB.A. in Arts Management from UCLA in 1980, worked in public television in Southern California and then owned an art gallery in Seattle. In 1986, she and her husband spent a year and a half as volunteer missionaries in Thailand. One of their jobs was marketing handicrafts for hill tribes as part of a project that created alternate income sources for subsistence communities that relied on opium and other negative lifestyles to generate cash. When they returned stateside, they started an import company to create jobs for the people they had been working with. She got into product development and designed their products, a variety of decorative accessories but mostly florals. Never in a million years would she have guessed this would be her career path, but who knows what kinds of opportunities life will hand you. They ran Blooms for 17 years, traveling the globe and the country and yet working out of our home (raising two great kids without child care!) Last January it was time to move on and they closed Blooms for good and she began her second career as an artist. Now, she is a painter, creating landscapes in oils: smaller paintings sort of Hudson River School and larger pieces more semi-abstract Turner-esque, but all about light and shadow and moving the viewer into the world I'm enjoying NOT traveling and instead becoming rooted in a strong arts community here in Portland, OR.

Kathleen Tormey Rochester, B.A. 1978, never made it back to Madagascar as Public Affairs Officer. Instead, she resigned her Foreign Service commission to become an official “trailing spouse” and trailed along to Stockholm (described by her as a wonderful, beautiful city with lots of great museums), Dakar (described by her as tough to love, but some great resorts), and now Brussels, where she is enjoying docent-guided tours of the museum, in French, as a way to meet  Belgians. Her daughter, Nell, is now six, and still loves visiting museums with her, though her taste runs more to dinosaurs at the moment. She would welcome any Stanford visitors. Her husband, Chris, can be reached through the U.S. Embassy. He is the Public Affairs Officer.

He retired in 1980 and moved to Kauai, and returned to live on Orcas Island, 1982. He moved from Orcas to Fidalgo Island (Anacortes), Washington 1990. He lost Marcia, wife of 56 years, in 2002, and got re-married to long-time family friend, Marion in 2003 and moved to Capistrano Beach, CA. During his career, he traveled most of the planet on painting trips. He has had over 90 one-man shows in several states, 6 European countries, and continues with an active life of travel and painting. He and Marion are presently looking forward to a Caribbean trip and later a second trip to New Zealand. He would like readers to know how much of an inspiration Dan Mendelowitz was to him, not only as a kind of "Mentor/Father", but in terms of his art career as well. All during the time he was in Bakersfield, he wanted to come up and see Mendelowitz from time to time just so he could let him know in person--but unfortunately, he never did, and have always regretted it.
