ERIN E. SWEENEY ARTIST BIO 2010 Erin Sweeney is an artist living and working in New Hampshire, having recently completed her MFA in Book Arts and Printmaking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she was awarded the Elizabeth C. Roberts Prize for graduate book arts. She holds a BFA in sculpture from the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine. Her current work combines fibers, text, and the book form. She is interested in all forms of building, be it conceptual or physical. Her current work revolves around the concepts and processes of building community. Making handmade objects, manipulating space, and utilizing printmaking processes in non-traditional ways are all a part of Sweeney’s vocabulary. She continues to exhibit nationally, most recently at the Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, Connecticut, Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, NJ, Donna Seager Gallery in San Rafael, California, and at the Skybox at 2424 Studios in Philadelphia. Additionally, Sweeney is an instructor, teaching book arts workshops at her Lovely In The Home Press, 30 Main Street, Peterborough, NH. She is available for teaching residencies, most recently working with bookbinding students at Montserrat College in Beverly, Massachusetts, as well as elementary students at Josiah Haynes Elementary School in Sudbury, Massachusetts. www.erinsweeney.net please check my schedule page for upcoming workshops and events at Lovely In The Home Press!
