Daniel J. Burt
Director of Sculpture
School of Fine Arts

The most significant challenge I’ve faced in pursuing my artistic dream has been finding a balance between my academic responsibilities, family life, and studio practice. With limited hours in each day, I’ve been compelled to develop innovative time management strategies to ensure that I can dedicate myself fully to each aspect of my life. This drive has not only allowed me to cultivate a productive studio environment but also enabled me to collaborate effectively with students and faculty in developing a rigorous and enriching artistic curriculum. By clearly defining my priorities and objectively assessing my time, I’ve been able to maintain a fulfilling presence both at home with my growing family and in my professional pursuits.
