Currently based in Oxford, Autumn Wittebort received her Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Environmental Science from Allegheny College and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Mississippi, where she also serves as a teaching assistant in the painting department. Her practice examines the female experience through power, control, and cultural inheritance, connecting historical paintings with contemporary imagery to expose how patriarchal systems and abuses of power continue to shape the lived realities of women today. Her work has been shown at multiple locations throughout both her undergraduate and graduate programs at Allegheny College and the University of Mississippi, as well as in exhibitions throughout the country including Mississippi University for Women, Hatch Hollow Gallery, NEXT Gallery, and the ArtFields Festival in Lake City.
