Art students will have the opportunity to participate in several unique workshops and lectures this month, including an award-winning New York artist who incorporates sculpture, design, painting and photography into her work, one of the Mexico’s most recognized artisan-sculptors, and Carlow University’s art department chair who is an internationally renowned potter.

Liz Lomax

Lomax is widely recognized as one of the leading figures in illustration with a client list that includes DC Comics, Entertainment Weekly, Miramax and Rolling Stone. Her unique, hand-sculpted illustration style — which grew from a love of creating shoebox dioramas as a child — is a breath of fresh air in this age of computer-generated imagery.
