ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tina Mitchell holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and a BFA in Studio Arts from Syracuse University. A Munson Artist-in-Residence since August, she teaches in the community arts program and explores abstraction through experiments and critical thinking.

Tina’s artistic practice is inspired by her passion for Art Education and experiences teaching art with many ages and institutions.  Her artwork manipulates representations of space in order to explore their possibilities for expressing joy, excitement, or fear. There is an emphasis on the combination of sculpture and painting that blurs pictorial space with physical space and rejects predetermined structures through painting and application of color. Tina is greatly influenced by the teachings of painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus school and is developing a community arts class that breaks down abstraction into a series of experiments and critical thinking.
