Contemporary artist Nikki Painter presents a visiting artist lecture. She works primarily in mixed media drawings and her installations investigate how the environments in her drawings might exist in three-dimensional space.

Painter received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002 and her Master of Fine Arts degree in studio art from American University in 2009. She has had solo exhibitions at Civilian Art Projects in Washington, D.C.; at COOP, an artist-run space in Nashville; and at Twelve21 Gallery in Orlando. Her work has also been exhibited nationally and internationally. http://nikkipainter.com
