Hager

Hager, a juror for the Down East Sculpture Exhibition, is an associate professor of sculpture at the University of North Florida. She received her MFA in Sculpture and Digital Media from San Jose State University in San Jose, California.

Hager’s interest involves a variety of processes and materials. She finds inspiration in dreams, objects from her childhood, gadgets, sea life and other curiosities. She also values collaboration, and believes the spirit of community is important in her teaching practice and her own work. Hager’s work has been exhibited most recently at the Ogden Museum of Art in New Orleans, Los Angeles, the Josephine Sculpture Park in Frankfort, Kentucky and in the Cymru Ironstone Castle in Wales.

Hager also will visit ECU studios and hold critiques and workshops with students through March 7.

Hager’s visit is made possible by the Office of Student Activities & Organizations and the ECU Sculpture Guild.
