Jason S. Reynaga

Self-driven and goal-oriented sixteen-year Academic professional and "agent of change" with strong people and organizational skills seeks to further personal, professional, leadership and collaborative growth opportunities by cultivating a shared belief in "the passionate pursuit of something greater than ourselves".

Creatively dynamic and self-motivated leader determined to pursue results-driven and creative problem-solving initiatives for the sake of transforming ordinary goals into extraordinary outcomes! Previous leadership roles and a multitude of academic responsibilities have prepared me to fearlessly and passionately step into any faculty, executive or administrative capacity. Above all other attributes, I have always advocated passionately for students, and care deeply about helping others to become the best versions of themselves! Academic Advisor, Departmental Coordinator, Art Department Chair, and Professor of Art with 16 years experience in writing creatively adaptive and unique curriculum through classroom lecturing and delivery of a variety of multidisciplinary projects has experience in providing support to and the management of multicultural and diverse faculty and students with unique backgrounds and personalities in collaboration with administration and in support of four-year and/or higher education recruitment and retention initiatives and institutional standards.

Over the last 16 years of teaching at the college level, I have essentially created an Art Program from the ground up. I have written and taught curriculum for nine different courses, at the Associate and Undergraduate levels. This includes the creation and assessment of approximately eight Assignments per course, Content Quizzes, Exams and Group Projects as appropriate for each course.

Since the completion of my Master of Fine Arts Degree from TCU in 2006, I have actively pursued a career as a professional artist. For the last 16 years, I have participated in numerous regional competitive and non-competitive, solo, two person, group and invitational exhibitions at universities, fine art galleries and museums throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex such as; The Dallas Contemporary, Artspace 111, RO2 Gallery, the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, Tarrant County Community Colleges, and Midwestern State University. My artwork may be found in private, university and museum collections throughout Texas. I have also conducted numerous Creative and Educational Workshops at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, TX. My continuing body of artworks use dynamic, color-rich, multidimensional and seductive surfaces to captivate viewers on a sensory level. An intellectual palette of socio-politics, pop culture and visual metaphors seek to create often unexpected and meaningfully provocative associations that present the viewer with a juxtaposition between the real world, and the digitally-enhanced fantasy world of online gaming. Currently I have gallery representation at RO2 Gallery in Dallas, Texas.
