鈥淎rtists of all kinds are the heart of Mississippi鈥檚 creative economy,鈥 said Malcolm White, MAC executive director. 鈥淭hey significantly contribute to the economic growth of their communities and our state, and the Mississippi Arts Commission is honored to support their outstanding work.鈥

Drawing influence from painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and writer Raymond Carver (1938-88), Lippillo鈥檚 new solo project 鈥淪tories We Tell Ourselves鈥 conveys open-ended narratives that are set in non-specific American landscapes. Through depictions of mundane daily happenings, Lippillo seeks to convey visual conversations where loneliness and longing border bewilderment and hope.

An MSU faculty member since 2010, Lippillo earned his Master of Fine Arts in photography from Ohio University in 2009 and Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from Youngstown State University in 2005. Digital photography and photography survey are among courses Lippillo has taught at MSU.
