Lisa Tuttle

Lisa Tuttle is an artist and freelance arts administrator living in Atlanta. Her work combines historical research and literature with artistic practice, and is best described as conceptual and mixed media. She writes, “As someone who grew up in the South, making work which reflects the complexity of that experience has become increasingly important to me. Thinking about the relationship between people of African and native descent with those of European descent, as well as the syncretism of those cultures, unravels my own identity.”

Tuttle is represented by Sandler Hudson Gallery, and her studio is located at the Arts Exchange. She has received numerous awards as an artist—two SAF/NEA Fellowships for Visual Artists—in 1991 for Sculpture, and in 1995 for Photography. In 2003, she received a Cultural Exchange Fellowship from the King Baudouin Foundation—U.S. to “…look at the way the story of the Congo is told in Belgium”.  In 2002, she completed an artist residency at Caversham Press in South Africa. She is the recipient of the 1999 Atlanta Mayor’s Fellowship in the Arts Award in Visual Arts. Tuttle has exhibited her mixed-media objects and installations throughout the Southeast, in New York and in Europe.
