2023

Welcome!

After a five-year-hiatus, we're back. What's here is a modest reboot, but we hope it's enough to give a glimpse what students and alumni at CSI can accomplish creatively. As you look through what's here, we hope it gives you a spark into your own creativity to explore and examine this college, this community, and this CSI world we live in.

Sincerely,
Robert Mayer
Professor of English
College of Southern Idaho

Visual Art

  • Hudson Ford: "Untitled"

    This piece is Hudson's final project for his Drawing 2 class with Miss Milica. He describes it as "a chalk pastel drawing made with chalk pastels and pencil drawings. It is a self portrait combined with my own art and style to mix them together to make one drawing that embodies all my studies here at CSI. I enjoy it as one of my more personal and professional drawings and see it as a accomplishment of my work in school over the years."
