The Department of Art and Art History in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Miami (UM) presents the work of incoming Master of Fine Arts (MFA) graduate students. The MFA program is a 60-credit, three-year program resulting in a terminal degree that both prepares students to enter the professional, studio art world and qualifies them for college teaching. The program is highly competitive, with applicants coming from across the country and around the world. This year’s artists are Rachel Alderton (Printmaking) and Anthony Magnetti (Ceramics).
Rachel Alderton is an incoming graduate student from Neenah, WI. She has a bachelor's degree in both psychology and art from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. With a background in both psychology and pre-med, she does a lot of work with the human figure and portraiture. She has done undergraduate research in France as well as studied abroad in Italy. Rachel is very excited to pursue her MFA at the University of Miami.
Anthony Magnetti is an incoming graduate student coming from Ogden, Utah where he has worked as a wildland firefighter and timber faller for the past decade. During the winters he makes art in his studio and works in the art department as a set dresser for TV shows and incoming venues at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. He has an undergraduate degree from Southern Utah University under Professor Susan Harris. He has done resident artist programs at the Mendocino Art Center as well at Flynn Creek Pottery under Nick Schwartz, assisted a concentration at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, and is excited to begin his time at the University of Miami.
