Faculty Mentor Bio

Meg Lipke is known for her sculptural sewn canvases as well as her paintings with one rounded corner. She engages such elements as the body, the frame and the grid while also giving works volume, challenging the conventional relationship between painting and wall. Often seen resting or leaning on the floor, her works subvert their traditional role as paintings. She has had solo exhibitions at Broadway, Shrine, Document, Rebecca Camacho Presents and Van Horn in Düsseldorf. She has exhibited her work in group exhibitions at Ceysson Benetiere, Venus Over Manhattan, Dependance and Overduin. She has been awarded residencies at Parts and Labor in San Antonio, Villa Atrata in La Roche Posay, Volland Foundation, and the Saltonstall Foundation. Her works have been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Yorker, BOMB Magazine, and Art in America. She lives and works in the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires.
