His output in recent years has consisted of painting, drawing, collage, and audio releases; influenced by his travels to Southeast Asia in 2005 and 2008 (Bali Burma, Japan, Java, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand).

Heather Dew Oaksen is a media artist and educator whose experimental work explores the realms of both fiction and non-fiction, and functions in communities in unexpected ways. Much of her recent media installation work has been sited in places where the public “finds” the work informally –as they are traveling (the Colman dock ferry terminal), shopping and commuting (the windows at 911 Media Arts Center), or leafing through a periodical (at the North East branch of the Seattle Public Library). Oaksen has received many awards for her work which has been exhibited throughout the United States and Canada. She is a professor at Cornish College of the Arts and one of the founders of 911Media Arts Center. |

The Jack Straw Writers Program, Artist Support Program, and New Media Gallery Program offer established and emerging artists in diverse disciplines an opportunity to explore the creative use of sound in a professional atmosphere through residencies in our recording studios and participation in our various presentation programs.
The Jack Straw Writers Program was created in 1997 to introduce local writers to the medium of recorded audio; to develop their presentation skills for both live and recorded readings; to encourage the creation of new literary work; to present the writers and their work in live readings, an anthology, on the web, and on the radio; and to build community among writers.
The Artist Support Program has been assisting artists working creatively with sound since 1994, including writers, choreographers, multidisciplinary artists, theatre sound designers, radio producers, film makers, visual artists, and musicians and composers of all types. Every year, up to eight artists are awarded twenty hours of studio recording and production time with a Jack Straw engineer; an additional twelve artists receive matching awards for studio time.
