Emmy Lingscheit

Emmy Lingscheit holds a BFA in painting from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, and an MFA in printmaking from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her work critically investigates the tension and ambiguity between the “man-made” and the “natural”. It is informed by dystopian fiction, climate disruption, irony, hope, and the current alarming pace of species extinction planet-wide.

Emmy has held residencies at the Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis, MN, at Zygote Press in Cleveland, OH, and at Ucross in Sheridan, WY. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including recently at Davidson Galleries in Seattle, WA, LeSo Gallery in Toledo, OH, and McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture in Knoxville, TN. Her work is also held in public, private, and university collections in the U.S. as well as Poland and Japan. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she teaches printmaking and drawing.
