Dickey’s artwork included in various shows


COLUMBUS, Miss. – Assistant professor Shawn Dickey of Mississippi University for Women recently had some of his artwork displayed at various shows.

Currently Dickey’s art is being shown at the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, Mass., Slocumb Galleries at East Tennessee State University and the University Art Gallery at California State University.

Since the beginning of 2006, Dickey’s work also has been on display at the College Art Gallery at the College of New Jersey as well as the Creative Arts Center in Burbank, Calif.

The shows are open to the public, but those interested in attending should contact the individual gallery for more information.

Dickey has taught at MUW since 1998. He started as a full-time instructor after doing some adjunct work in 1996 and 1997. Currently he is in a tenure track position as an assistant professor for the Department of Art and Design.

He has produced dimensional screen-print triptychs, otherwise known as screen-prints in an edition and/or multiples, for the past four years. He described this three dimensional type of art as being created in layers and based on early Christian altarpieces.

In addition to creating this type of art, Dickey has worked as a printmaker since 1986.
