2019 Winner of the Provost’s Award for Teaching

Congratulations to Sabrina Marques, Assistant Professor of Art Sabrina earned her BA in visual arts from Columbia University and her MFA in painting and printmaking from the Yale School of Art. Before teaching at WCSU, she taught art courses at UCONN, Whittier College, and Connecticut College. Her current research involves a four-year cross-cultural project where she travels to Alagoas and the Amazon in Brazil and studies the relationship indigenous tribes have with art. She is a part of this collaborative project with professors from other institutions to study protocols on art, positive emotion, neuroscience, and its effect on wellbeing. Her own artwork focuses on narrative, utilizing storytelling, memory, cultural commentary and humor. As the daughter of a Cuban exile, her paintings are filled with stories of her family’s experience during the Cuban Revolution. She has had solo and group exhibitions in NYC as well as other cities throughout the country. Sabrina has been an artist in residence at The Trelex Residency in Switzerland, The Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Italy, and The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut. She was selected for the Radius Program at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, and recently received a Painting Fellowship from the Connecticut Commission of the Arts. At WCSU, she teaches various courses in undergraduate painting, is a graduate critic in the MFA program, and teaches in the Kathwari Honors program.

Part I: Published Works

In this section you will find published works in all forms. Our faculty have authored books and journal articles, provided commentary and analysis for news outlets large and small, directed plays for regional theatres, created sets for stage and screen, composed and recorded music, produced films, and had their artwork featured in galleries all over the country.

A note on style: This document combines the work of scholars in the humanities, social sciences, sciences, a variety of professional disciplines, and the arts. Each of these fields has its own style manual with unique perspectives on how citations should look. This document follows none of them. Instead, we have developed some rules drawn from several style manuals in an effort to create some common ground out of the diversity represented here. Throughout the document WCSU faculty are listed in bold and when WCSU students have been included on a project, they are identified with an asterisk.
