UAS welcomes back Seattle artist John Fehringer as an Artist-In-Residence in Digital Fine Art for spring semester, 2008. Mr. Fehringer is an award-winning artist who has been highly recognized for his accomplished artwork. Having lived in Juneau in the 80’s and 90’s, he may be best known here for his airbrush paintings of Southeast Alaska. Since moving to Seattle in the mid-90’s, Mr. Fehringer has trained extensively in digital technology for fine art (art for art’s sake) and for applied (commercial) art. Clients include Columbia Resource Group,  a media group based in Seattle with worldwide clients; Watts / Silverstein Inc., one of the original digital media consultants and production companies on the West Coast; and Digicolor Media / Seattle, a northwest digital production house for visual communication. He now owns and runs his own digital media company, Fehringer Studios, out of Seattle, Port Townsend and now Juneau. His separate publishing company, Windsong Editions, publishes and distributes his limited edition fine art prints to galleries throughout the US and Canada.

The two studio courses that Mr. Fehringer will offer at UAS spring semester will focus on a fine art perspective. For UAS students who are admitted as degree-seeking, registration for spring semester is now open. For community members who would like to take courses at UAS, registration will open on November 26. Registration for all Art courses at UAS can be done online. UAS spring semester classes start mid-January. Following are course descriptions.
