MURRAY, Ky. – The Department of Art & Design at Murray State University is pleased to host Sage Perrott, also known as Haypeep, as the Patricia L. Summerville Artist in Printmaking on Sept. 9 through Sept. 11.

Perrott will host a screenprinting workshop with the help of both Professor Nicole Hand’s and Professor Lu Coby’s advanced printmaking class. The workshop will be Sept. 9 through Sept. 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Fine Arts room 1006. Perrott will also give a lecture on her work on Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. in Fine Arts room 623 located inside the Clara Eagle Gallery. The workshop and lecture are both free and open to the public.

Perrott is a printmaker and educator originally from West Virginia. Her artwork features grumpy, lumpy, ghost-like creatures situated in cramped, often humorous circumstances. Perrott especially enjoys screenprinting and riso. She has degrees in printmaking from West Virginia University (Bachelor of Fine Arts) and from Ohio University (Master of Fine Arts). Perrott is currently an Associate Professor teaching printmaking at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. Her prints, drawings and zines have found their way into the hands of individuals all over the United States and the world.

The Patricia L. Summerville Lecture Series is made possible through an endowment to the Department of Art and Design from Patricia Summerville, who graduated from Murray State University in 1972 with a B.S. Ed., after attending the University for only three years. She then earned three additional degrees, including a M.S. Ed., with a major in supervision in 1976 from the University of Akron; a M.H.A., with a major in Hospital Administration in 1982 from Xavier University; and the Juris Doctor from Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University in 1994. She was admitted to the bar the following year. Summerville’s career included teaching art for six years, serving as an administrator for hospitals and healthcare facilities for twenty years, and practicing law for five years before retiring in 2003. She passed away in March 2022.
