Lisa Walcott is an Associate Professor of Art at Hope College, where she has been a faculty member since 2018. She teaches sculpture courses, the capstone course for art majors, and a First-Year Seminar on artistic processes. Her studio practice focuses on kinetic sculptures and installations that explore themes of home, the everyday, and the feminine experience. MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art (2010) B.A. from Trinity Christian College (2005) Walcott’s research intersects sculpture, installation art, and kinetic design, often recontextualizing domestic objects to investigate themes of interdependence, repair, and the unseen forces in everyday life. Her work frequently involves mechanical components and materials like wax, motors, and household items to create immersive, motion-driven installations. Her recent artworks, such as Making a Mountain (2024) and A Soft Punch to the Gut (2024), exemplify her focus on transforming utilitarian structures into emotive, kinetic pieces. These works, alongside digital collages like The Way I Figure It (2023), reveal a trajectory toward blending physical materials with conceptual frameworks to explore domestic ingenuity and tension. Walcott actively mentors students through faculty research collaborations and founded the Hope College Art Club. She exhibits nationally at institutions like the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum and The Sculpture Center, with solo exhibitions at venues including Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati) and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art. Her studio practice integrates material investigations and workshops to refine techniques, which she translates into both pedagogy and art. Notable solo exhibitions include Swarm (2013) at the Broad Art Museum and Tight Spots (2021) at Saugatuck Center for the Arts.
