Althea Murphy-Price received her MA in printmaking and painting from Purdue University and her MFA in printmaking from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. She has exhibited in venues throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Murphy-Price has been an artist in residence at the Frank Lloyd Wright School, University of Hawaii-Hilo, and Vermont Studio Center.

The Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series is underwritten by the Hixson-Lied Endowment, with additional support from other sources. The program brings notable artists, scholars and designers to UNL; enhancing the education of our students and enriching the culture of the state by providing a way for Nebraskans to interact with luminaries in the fields of art, art history and design.

Every visiting artist or scholar gives at least one major lecture that is open to the public.
