Bowling Green, KY
As a process-driven artist, Yvonne Petkus explores ideas of struggle, the residues of trauma and persistence, and forces against the body, expressed as fragments, accumulations, and glimpses. Petkus is committed to discourse through teaching (Western Kentucky University) and through a range of exhibitions and lectures. Honors include awards from the Great Meadows Foundation, KY Arts Council, KY Foundation for Women, and recently being named University Distinguished Professor. She has presented her work at conferences of the CAA, SECAC, and Athens Institute (Greece), and attended artist residencies in New York and Iceland. A ZSEIFS fellowship in Bosnia-Herzegovina led to curating an international exhibit of work by 12 artists of Bosnian and Balkan origin, and to presenting her own Bosnia-influenced work in venues around the country and world, including in Sarajevo at the KUMA International Conference on Contemporary Art. Petkus is represented by the Moremen Gallery in Louisville, KY.
