Biography and Education

 Joey Fauerso is an artist and Associate Professor at Texas State University. Recently her work has been included in exhibitions at the Drawing Center in New York, The David Shelton Gallery in Houston, and Antenna Gallery in New Orleans. She lives with her family in San Antonio, Texas.

Teaching Interests

 I am interested in a multi-diciplineary approach to teaching Studio Art.

Research Interests

 My work has taken the form of paintings, drawings, installation, performance and video. A lot of my recent work draws from my children and our domestic life as a way to speak to broader collective experience. I’m specifically interested in the ways children assign meaning to things, and the ways they use placement and proximity to build narrative and create relationships between disparate objects and ideas.
