User talk:OrcaBay

Hello, I'm OrcaBay and I joined wiki on December 6, 2008. I am still learning how to make edits and to add images.

My interest at the moment is to correct some bits on the Dale Chihuly page. I work for him in Seattle as a photo archivist/librarian and part of my job is to answer reference questions that come up. For example, if someone is writing an essay about the work and the artist I would check it over for accuracy.

Another part of my job is to give permission to publish images from his photo collection. So I hope to add new photos to the Chihuly wikipedia page.



Note on a change made to the Dale Chihuly article on Dec. 10, 2008. Previously the bio stated that Chihuly received a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design. He actually has an MFA in Ceramics from RISD since there was no official program in glass at the time. But many readers will think that he studied ceramics at RISD, which he did not. Therefore I think it makes sense to simplify things by not qualifying his MFA degree at all. OrcaBay (talk) 18:22, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
