Gossett’s writing appears in publications including the edited collections "Death and Other Penalties: Continental Philosophers on Prisons and Capital Punishment" (Fordham University Press, 2015), "Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility" (MIT Press, 2017), and "Trans Philosophy" (University of Minnesota Press, 2024).

Still-life painting is the study of everyday objects that take on a new life, tell a story and can act as a portal to another place or time. Emphasis in this class will be on an impressionist technique of painting using an alla prima (wet into wet) style of painting, keeping loose brushwork, thick paint, and eliminating detail. We will cover composition, color, form, and lighting. There will be a setup for each class along with photo images to create from. I do a painting demonstration in each class. One of our exercises will be a personal still life using objects that have meaning for us. The best part is that we will have fun as we share our discoveries together. Come join us! I cannot wait to see what you will create. This class is for all levels of painters, both beginning and experienced. You are also welcome to do your own work.
