?The purpose of my Web site is to promote my artwork as well as Tabor College,? Chin said. ?Indeed, I have long wanted to construct my own Web site. Although my Web site still needs some refinement, I am grateful that I was able to finish it with limited knowledge on Web construction.?
Professor Chin, who teaches Drawing I, Painting II and Basic Design II (color) at Tabor, became a student of Web design before creating her own site this past summer during an art residency at the Red Barn Museum in Lindsborg.
The new site contains stunning photos of her artwork, curriculum vitae, and an artist?s statement describing her philosophy and creative process.
