Barbara F. Yontz, Associate Professor Fine Art

Picture
Barbara Yontz is an artist and educator with an MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College, an MA in Art History from Vanderbilt University, and an MA Art Education from the University of South Florida. An associate professor of art at St. Thomas Aquinas College, New York, she lives in Manhattan and keeps a studio in Nashville. Her sculptural installation, sound and performance work navigates the intra-relationships among materiality, emotion and the event. Research and papers investigate art as social practice, integrating contemporary philosophy, social theory and the role of the artist as agent of change. 

The Star Womb Project: Monad to Nomad, a new work, was inspired by research into the formation of the first star by Columbia Astrophysicist, Daniel Wolf Savin. Previous exhibitions include, the Frist Center for Visual Arts, Nashville, the Jose Marti National Library, Havana, the Boston Museum School and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, NJ.
