Faculty

The School of Art has 22 full-time faculty and up to 10 additional active professionals through joint, courtesy and adjunct appointments.

Faculty are professionally active in the international arena with exhibits, presentations, research projects and papers at venues, sites and conferences in Asia, Australia, Europe, the Americas and even the moon (Lowry Burgess’ Lunar Aperture was the first nonscientific payload on a NASA space shuttle). Faculty have obtained grants and awards from Creative Capital, Art Matters, and the Ford, Guggenheim, Heinz, Kellogg, Jerome, Lannan, Mellon, Pew, Pollack Krasner, and Rockefeller Foundations. They have also held Fulbrights, National Endowment for the Arts, National Science Foundation, Canadian Arts Council and state arts council fellowships as well as university teaching awards.

Like our students, faculty are engaged in a variety of creative pursuits from planning ecosystems for post-industrial landscapes to interactive installations and prints exploring issues of race and gender to gargantuan and intimate sculpture of clay, ceramic, blown glass and green grass to exquisite landscape paintings that investigate perceptual phenomena. And that’s just scratching the surface!

As formal and informal mentors, members of our award-winning faculty focus on their students as individuals. The school’s 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio provides for an intense, professional learning environment. Faculty join staff in organizing regular advising meetings every semester for each class, keeping students abreast of issues and procedures related to registration, sophomore and senior reviews, study abroad opportunities, career services, commencement, and more.
