Schreiber

About the program:

“I will do a slide presentation covering the development of my work over a 30-year period and how I view the larger world through a small, domestic lens,” Schreiber says. “I will also bring examples of actual work. The presentation will be followed by an informal Q & A. I strive to make my presentations humorous and conversational, and welcome questions and interruptions.”
