Updated Resume

Fair warning: this is a potentially boring entry for my dear blog readers. It's been over two years since the ole resume was updated -- long overdue. Without "Finding My Glasses" as a record of art life events, I would be completely, utterly, and absolutely clueless as to what to put on this.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this resume better, more effective, or more readable, please feel free to pass along the advice. I would greatly appreaciate hearing from others with more resume writing experience.
