Emily Arthur

Emily Arthur, an Associate Professor of printmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, received an MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and served as Fellow at the Barnes Foundation for Theoretical and Critical Research. Collections include Tweed Museum, Denver Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Autry Museum and Crocker Art Museum. Arthur works with zoologists, botanists and poets to elucidate the craft and knowledge-based disciplines of art and science at this moment when both are being distorted and devalued. www.emilyarthur.org

“My fine art practice is informed by a concern for the environment, displacement, exile and the return home from dislocation and separation. I seek the unbroken relationship between modern culture and ancient lands which uses tradition and story to make sense of the enduring quest to understand our changing experience of home.”
