Barbara F. Yontz, Associate Professor Fine Art
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.
