Brian R. Jonescast

Ian Anderson is the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College at the Maine College of Art. He's a busy man (also married to the great Kari Radasch), and one of my favorite people. Ian has an MFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I first met him, has worked as a studio assistant for Silvie Granatelli, started a line of functional pottery (Neutrino), and has been at MECA for the past few years. Ian has an exceptional ability to communicate ideas and processes, as well as inspire students, that place him somewhere between artist, educator, and administrator. He's engaged, informed, and actively trying to bring art and design education further into the 21st century. We cover a lot in this one, enjoy.
