Elisabeth Meyer

Elisabeth Meyer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art at Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP). She is a New York-based artist whose work explores print media, serial imagery, and narrative structures through book and folio formats, incorporating drawing, painting, and sculpture. Her artistic practice is deeply influenced by architecture, nature, and history.

Her research and creative work focus on print media, artist books, and visual narratives, often investigating the multiple and the potential for tangential storytelling. She employs techniques such as rubbing, collage, and stenciling, blending traditional and contemporary methods. Her recent projects include large-scale prints and sculptural multiples developed through collaborative grants.

The most recent works in her portfolio (2021–2016) reveal a sustained engagement with intaglio, woodcut, and mixed-media printmaking, often in series such as Tarotesque and Route Not Taken, which explore symbolic, architectural, and personal themes. These works reflect a deep commitment to material experimentation and narrative complexity.

Her major awards include:

• Jeffrey S. Lehman Grant for Scholarly Exchange with China (2018 and 2015)
• Jurors Prize, The Boston Printmakers North American Print Biennial (2018)
• Baer Art Center Residency, Iceland (2009)

She also received a CCA Grant to collaborate with Joanna Malinowska on cross-institutional artistic exchange and print production.

Meyer has curated exhibitions such as Print, Text, Language (2014) and Hybrid Prints (2013), and has coordinated student collaborations with professional artists. She has served as a visiting critic at Brown University, Massachusetts College of Art, and RISD. Her teaching includes courses in print media, professional collaboration, and the artist’s book.
