Dodd alumni Brian Hitselberger (MFA 2011) has been named the third annual summer Artist in Residence at the Lyndon House.

Hitselberger is an artist living and working in Athens and is an Associate Professor of Arts at Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia. His work has been exhibited at ATHICA in Athens, at {Poem88} in Atlanta, Dalton Gallery of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Barbara Archer Gallery in Atlanta, Atlanta Contemporary, and Cabinet in Brooklyn, New York. He has held residencies at the Elsewhere Artists Collaborative, the HUB-BUB Arts Initiative, and the Hambidge Center for the Arts. He has received funding for his work from the Georgia Council for the Arts, the Willson Center for the Humanities, and the Andy Warhol Foundation. He received a BFA in Printmaking from Tulane University in 2005, and an MFA in Painting from the University of Georgia in 2010. 

Hitselberger says, “During my time in the Print Studio of the Lyndon House this summer I have ambitious plans to develop several bodies of work concurrently, all of which relate directly to my interest in print as a means of creating a unique image. In a suite of cut-paper monotypes, I intend to explore shape and color relationships as they relate directly to several of my recent works on canvas. Additionally, I will be utilizing monotype and relief processes to add layers and depth to some larger-format works on paper in that are in progress."

On Saturday, July 28 from 4 - 5 pm visit the Lyndon House Printmaking Studio to have a conversation with the artist, check out his latest project, and enjoy a light reception.

Hitselberger’s residency is supported by a faculty grant from Piedmont College.
