Jason Lanka

Born and raised in Wyoming, Jason received a MFA at the University of Connecticut in 2006. Before joining the Department of Art and Design in 2009, Jason taught at Hartford Art School, Springfield College, The University of Connecticut, and the College of William and Mary.

The space at which our culture comes in contact with the environment inspires Jason’s creative work. Much can be understood about the nature of how our society defines its role and place within the natural world by the observation of this boundary.

He has recently exhibited at The Visual Arts Center of Tidewater Community College in Portsmouth, VA, Gallery 5 in Richmond, VA, The University of Hawaii Art Gallery, Honolulu, HI, Cazenovia College, Cazenovia, NY, The Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Newport News, VA, and Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY.

Jason’s work is included in collections at the University of Wyoming President’s Collection, The Wolf Law Library Collection at the College of William and Mary and the President’s Collection at the College of William and Mary.
