My Teacher

This is my Sculpture professor Jim Wilsterman. Jim is extremely knowledgeable, creative, kind and generous. All of his students love him. He knows how to use every machine in the building and can fabricate anything. Often, there are parts for some of the machines that are out of stock or no longer made and Jim will fabricate whatever we need. He can build anything and if something is broken he can fix it. More than anything he is extremely supportive of his students. He is very encouraging of students' vision and creativity and offers suggestions to help make every project an improved reality. He tirelessly works for improvement in the art department and there would be no sculpture program without him. In fact, Jim has been unable to create his own sculpture pieces for years due to his devotion to the students and college. I have learned so much from Jim and am so grateful to have stumbled upon his classes.
