AREAS OF RESEARCH/ARTISTIC FOCUS: Associate Professor Guldbeck has studied extensively in Europe, completing programs in anthopology and fine art in Denmark as well as a post-graduate fellowship in painting at the University of Zagreb in Croatia. Concerned with an interdisciplinary approach to the interpretation of art, she has pursued interests and taught courses within museum studies, conservation and photography as well as painting.
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Current paintings have revolved around themes of transformation. Manipulated or constructed models of growth are explored in the work through the specificity of media. How the language of abstraction becomes increasingly specific through the precision of mark and gesture is an area of particular interest. Recent solo exhibitions include "From Silence" and "Bonegarden" both at Artemisia Gallery, and "Raw Pigment" and "Effusions" at Melanee Cooper Gallery in Chicago. New work was presented at a solo exhibition at the Northern Indiana Arts Association in 2005. Other recent venues include Galleri5000 in Denmark, the American River traveling museum exhibition sponsored by the Great River Arts Institute, Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and the Toyahashi Museum of Art in Japan. She has been the recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Artist Fellowship, an E.D. Foundation Grant, an Iowa Arts Council Grant and residencies from the Ragdale Foundation and Vermont Studio Center. She has been named an American-Scandinavian Foundation Fellow and the Lois Roth Endowment Fellow for 2006-07 to pursue painting in Denmark. Her work is represented in public and private collections in Europe and the U.S.
Faculty member at BGSU since 1999.
