Elizabeth Mesa-Gaido, professor of art at Morehead State University, produces artwork that is informed by global events and personal experience.
She was recently profiled by Ruckus, a Louisville-based, independent journal that highlights art in the Midwest and the South. The Q&A article highlights her artistic journey, what brought her to MSU and some of her artwork.
“I was thrilled to be contacted by Anna Blake, the writer, about her wanting to interview me for the Ruckus article. She did a phenomenal job of synthesizing our hour-long conversation for the publication,” Mesa-Gaido said. “It was an honor to have my work showcased and thoughts written about by Anna and published by Ruckus.”
