Liz Trosper is a Dallas-based artist whose work utilizes assemblage and digital imaging to challenge the conventional definitions of painting. She came to painting after the prolonged study of political science and public administration, as well as professional experience in the public sector. Liz obtained her MFA at UT Dallas, a program that focuses on the intersection of traditional art theories with emerging technologies. While there, she was a resident at UTD’s highly touted CentralTrak residency program. Liz is represented by Barry Whistler Gallery in Dallas, and her work has been shown in art spaces such as The Dallas Contemporary, Lawndale Art Center in Houston, Richland College, UT Dallas, Academic Gallery in New York and many other galleries and exhibition spaces. She is a lecturer at UT Dallas and curates a nonprofit experimental art space in Dallas called Umbrella.I recently sat down with Liz at her Deep Ellum studio where we discussed growing up in the suburbs, the landscape of community-level politics, studying philosophy, using technology in the studio, and the satisfaction of finding your life’s calling.
