An internationally known printmaker will visit the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point next week, offering both the public and students the chance to experience his creative process.

Sponsored by the Student Art League and SCULPT, a three-dimensional art student organization, Thomas Christison will offer a free public lecture and demonstration at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28, in Room 183 of the Noel Fine Arts Center.

Throughout the week, Christison will visit printmaking and sculpture classes to create work with students, answer their questions and work on his own printing project.

A master of lithography and monotype processes, Christison creates detailed prints about life cycles, passages of time, regeneration and the food chain. His work may be found in permanent collections in the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and in exhibits in Germany, France and India. He also has conducted workshops and master classes across the nation. He earned degrees at UW-Eau Claire and Arizona State University and maintains a private studio in Iowa City, Iowa.
