About

Jaroslava Prihodova is a visual artist, designer, and curator interested in interdisciplinary topics and collaborations. Her artistic practice generally revolves around issues associated with the object. She spent most of her informative years developing language that sufficiently translates ideas into material. As a maker, Prihodova often explores ideas and their application across disciplines. As a result, she continually seeks a balance among several core doctrines: design, science, and fine art. In many instances, this schism creates a climate for particular limitations with interesting challenges. Prihodova received her BFA from the School of Art and Design, Studio of Natural Materials, Jan Evangelista Purkyne University, Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic, and MFA from the School of Visual and Performing Arts, Jewelry and Metalsmithing, Syracuse University, NY. Prihodova works as the New Gallery Director at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee.
