UW–Madison’s Elaine Scheer, a professor in the School of Education’s Art Department, was featured on WORT-FM’s “The 8 O’Clock Buzz” recently in a segment that is titled, “Watercolors by the ‘Gram.”
In the segment, host Andy Moore picks Scheer’s brain about her paintings, the experiences behind them, and why she chose Instagram as a platform for sharing her work.
A preview of the segment notes: “Scheer paints watercolors that blend single original portraits with narratives of the sublime and the down-to-earth, from the front seat of a vintage car to Disneyland’s Matterhorn. Scheer dishes up these bites of her past via Instagram, accompanied by sometimes cheeky, always thought-provoking captions and hashtags.”
“For me, it’s kind of like putting out my diary, and it’s very visual,” says Scheer about her use of Instagram.
