McDaniel College’s Department of Art and Art History will present a visiting artist lecture by Robin Meyer on Thursday, February 18 at 7:00 p.m. in Peterson Hall Room 104. The lecture, which is sponsored by Ars Nova, the College’s art club, is free and open to the public.

Robin Meyer merges traditional painting and drawing with current digital and print technologies to reveal the paradoxical nature of the human condition. She is driven by the expectation that art-making can generate peaceful coexistence, social justice, and productive community-building relationships. Robin’s commitment to community service and working with diverse artists has spanned several decades. As a means of balancing the self-indulgent world of the studio, she has a long-standing history of engagement with groups outside her own art practice and work at the university. She teaches and develops programming with communities that traditionally have been denied access to art-making. T his work provides her with new ways of seeing, thinking, learning and teaching.

Born in Lake Katrine, NY, and raised most of her life in Philadelphia, Robin now resides in Baltimore, MD, where she is an Associate Professor of Studio Art at Montgomery College. She has taught Drawing at the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University, SUNY Oswego and Pratt Art Institute MWP. Robin has exhibited both nationally and internationally, has owned and managed a full-service sign and graphic design company in Philadelphia, and has managed and designed community based art projects. Robin received her BFA from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia and her MFA from Syracuse University.
