2005 Alumni Achievement (Merit) Award

Bio

Joyce Kozloff's (A 1964, H 2015) work has been exhibited at galleries across the country and her commissioned art has been displayed to the public in such venues as the United States Consulate Art in Embassies Program in Istanbul, Turkey, and the International Terminal at San Francisco International Airport. She will be in Pittsburgh as an artist-in-residence at CMU's Digital Arts Studio through July 1.

Using a computer to help create her pieces wasn't something Kozloff even imagined doing.  For many years her work has featured the use of maps with layered images to convey her interests in history, culture, and the decorative and popular arts. But she found herself in Pittsburgh as a finalist for a public art project, and she was invited to speak at the School of Art Lecture Series in 2011. She toured the Digital Arts Studio (DAS) during her visit, and found that she was impressed and intrigued with the process of digitally creating art vs. the laborious task of cutting images from hard copy sources.
