Summer/Fall 2025 Artists-in-Residence

Herbig’s recent prints explore Constitutional Chaos, which seeks to visualize aspects of our dysfunctional leaders and systems of leadership in the United States. Lithography, screenprint, relief, laser engraver, adhesives and coatings are areas of research with this recent body of work and manifest as two-dimensional works on paper and three-dimensional objects. Herbig earned an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002 and a BFA from Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas, in 1996. 

Herbig exhibits nationally, participating in juried exhibitions in all corners of the U.S., including Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, New York City, and internationally, including exhibitions in Japan, Canada, China, Argentina, Spain, Pakistan, Taiwan, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, and Poland. His socially provocative work is in the permanent collections of many institutions and personal collections. 

Janet Ballweg is a visual artist working primarily in print. Her studio practice explores the ways in which patterns shape our lives – the ways in which constructions of memory, experience, and gender are embodied in the domestic landscape. Her work integrates traditional and contemporary printmaking technologies as a means to invoke a sense of “other.” 

Ballweg’s work has been widely exhibited both nationally and internationally. Her prints can be found in permanent collections across the globe, including the China Printmaking Museum, Shenzhen, China; the Douro Art Museum, Douro, Portugal; Turner Print Museum, Chico, CA; Bibliotheque et Archives Nationales du Quebec, Canada; Kanagawa Prefectural Gallery, Kanagawa, Japan; Guanlan Print Base, Guanlan, China; Guanzhou Art Museum, Guangzhou, China; New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA; Chengdu Academy of Fine Art, Sichuan, China; Southwest Missouri Museum, Springfield, MO; Arte/Desarrollo Humano Workshop, Monterrey NL, Mexico; Center for Book Arts, NYC; Florean Museum, Carbunari, Romania; and the International Graphics Museum, Giza, Egypt. 

Having earned a BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) and an MFA from the University of Illinois (Champaign/Urbana), Ballweg went on to teach at Bowling Green State University. She currently resides in Bowling Green, OH. 

Dustin Loveland (he/they) is a non-binary printmaker-turned-dressmaker born in Los Angeles, CA, and raised in rural northeast Missouri. Loveland explores queer ancestry, fashion as a tool for placemaking, and crafting arrangements that formally embody a raison de vivre—a gratitude for life’s unpredictability and the meaningful connections between people, their environments, and the things they create. Growing up queer in an art and fashion desert with strained familial relationships, he turned to watching online software tutorials and screen-printing colorful t-shirts. The experience of designing digitally, transferring those images to print, and then wearing them allowed him to recognize print and fashion as ways to connect with others. 

Loveland earned his BFA in Printmaking and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2014 and has since worked across 3D scanning, architecture, and sewing industries. His work has been featured in fashion runways such as the 2019 Local Fashion Link and Kansas City Fashion Week (Spring/Summer ‘23). Recent exhibitions include Miss/They Camaraderie 2024 at Charlotte Street Gallery (MO) and the Printmakers Guild of NY 2024 Showcase (NY). Loveland was awarded the 50 4th Street Studio Residency by Collar Works x Chashama in Troy, NY. Currently, he lives and works in Upstate New York, where he co-runs a monthly studio critique group. 

Stephanie Sutton’s performances for the camera employ conventions of labor and ritual to complicate assumptions of discipline and destabilize virtues of self-control through the critical lenses of feminist theory, identity politics, and medical pathologies. Sutton’s work is recognized for its success in transgressing the limits of the isolated subject and redirecting self-consciousness onto the viewer. Sutton earned her MFA from University of Georgia, and her BFA at Georgia State University. She is currently Assistant Professor in Photography and Expanded Media at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. 

Neil Mattern is a printmaker from Northeastern Pennsylvania whose work is highly detailed and rooted in everyday objects that define his life. Often featuring intricately cut and shaped compositions, his prints reflect a deep engagement with material and process. Drawing from a background in photography, Mattern transforms photographic references through his own hand and vision, blending technical precision with a personal perspective. His work also incorporates humor and lightheartedness, offering a balance between realism and playfulness. 

Mattern earned his undergraduate degree in printmaking from Kutztown University and began teaching art in Shanghai, China, in 2018. After returning to the U.S., he pursued graduate studies at Syracuse University, where he now teaches etching and relief printmaking. His practice spans a range of printmaking techniques, including copperplate etching, screen printing, and laser cutting. In addition to printmaking itself, he explores custom packaging as an extension of his artistic practice, reinforcing the identity of his brand, NeilMart—a future endeavor aimed at establishing a commercial printmaking and gallery business specializing in traditional fine art printmaking. 

His current series investigates food and raw ingredients, treating what he consumes as an extension of himself in a conceptual form of self-portraiture. By focusing on the physical materials that sustain him, he questions the relationship between identity and consumption. Throughout his career, Mattern has remained dedicated to printmaking’s tactile, labor-intensive nature, using it as a means to explore themes of personal identity, everyday life, and artistic craftsmanship. He will further develop this body of work during his artist residency at Alfred University. 

Elizabeth Castaldo is a New York based artist, printmaker, and bookbinder. Working with collage, drawing, and printmaking she creates visually abundant works on paper and artist’s books.

She was a 2024 Art-in-Ed Workspace Resident at Women’s Studio Workshop and has completed residencies at Proyecto ‘Ace in Buenos Aires Argentina, Arquetopia in Oaxaca Mexico, the Center for Book Arts, NYC and Printmaker’s Open Forum, Oxford PA.

Jude Abu Zaineh is a Palestinian-Canadian interdisciplinary artist-curator working across art, food, science, and technology studies.
