    Overview

    Vivian Liddell is an interdisciplinary artist from Memphis, Tennessee who works with painting, fiber and craft techniques, sculpture, printmaking, photography, animation and sound.  In addition to her teaching duties, Liddell is an active member of UNG’s Gender Study Council. She created and teaches two art courses that are now part of the interdisciplinary Gender Studies Minor curriculum. Liddell received the 2021 Presidential Incentive Award for Innovation to complete two murals with her students at the North Georgia Astronomical Observatory, and has also received the Teaching Excellence Award, DoVA Faculty Member of the Year, and was a 2020 finalist for the Hopper Prize (an International Artist Award).

    Liddell’s creative work focuses on the figure and feminist theory in contemporary art especially as they relate to power and class structures in the American South. She hosts a podcast called Peachy Keen as an extension of her art practice, talking with other women about art and the Southeastern US and curates an alternative gallery space in Athens, Georgia for local and regional artists.
