Merrie Wright was invited to exhibit work in the Zoomorphic exhibition at Red Lodge Clay Center, Red Lodge, Mont. She is an associate professor
and the interim chair of the UT Tyler Department of Art and Art History.
In the exhibition, Wright called upon familiar creatures to explore the idea of camouflage
and self-presentation.
The UT Tyler Department of Art and Art History offers programs of study to prepare students for success as a professional artist,
art educator or professional in the field of art.
The department’s curriculum and mode of operation resemble a professional art school,
with a broad-based liberal arts education. Students may select an emphasis in studio
art, art education or art history. UT Tyler also offers an art minor to complement
other areas of study with expanded knowledge and ability in visual art.
