Daisie Hoitsma Young exhibited with Jason Tanner Young in a two-person show, “frequency,” at the Meadows Gallery at the University of Texas at Tyler in October.

Hoitsma Young is a full-time instructor of painting and 2D design at UA. Her work focuses on the fleeting and varying experience of time. Often referencing a changing landscape, or actions indicative of a current, yet temporary routine, she explores and marks psychological and physical shifts.

Hoitsma Young’s work has been shown at galleries, art centers and universities across the country including Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati, OH), Gadsden Museum of Art (Gadsden, AL), Attleboro Arts Museum (Attleboro, MA), Visual Arts Center (Huntington, WV), Washington Pavilion Visual Arts Center (Sioux Falls, SD), East Tennessee State University (Johnson City, TN), Shawnee State University (Portsmouth, OH), Xavier University (Cincinnati, OH), Morehead State University (Morehead, KY), and Ashland University (Ashland, OH). She received an MFA in painting and drawing from Ohio University, and a BFA from the University of Texas at Tyler.
