Biography
Mickey Boyd is a sculptor and printmaker based in Athens, Georgia. Originally from central Colorado, his practice is grounded in formative experiences working in his father’s shop and appreciating the big sky of his family’s home. He uses his history of working in the trades and construction as a sculptural language for interpreting the consequences of the developmental model of the built environment in the United States. He earned his MFA in Studio Art at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in 2023 and holds a BFA in Sculpture and Printmaking from Metropolitan State University of Denver, in Denver, Colorado.
