2025 9th Limited-Edition Print
Boo Who by Victoria Dugger
Our ninth annual Limited-Edition Print, Boo Who was created by Victoria Dugger. The 5-color screen print was produced at Two Parts Press, operated by Jon Swindler and Sara Hess. This original edition of 50 prints is scheduled to be released on August 21, 2025, at the Lyndon House Arts Center at 5:30 pm.
Victoria Dugger’s Boo Who is a tender, slightly eerie piece that explores themes of girlhood, spectacle, and the quiet grief of feeling unseen. With her signature blend of humor and emotional depth, Dugger creates an image that is personal, a little funny, and a little sad — drawing the viewer into a world where vulnerability and visibility coexist. The print holds space for both play and pain, evoking a theatrical, ghostly presence that lingers in the mind. Boo Who captures the spirit of Dugger’s larger body of work: deeply felt, visually arresting, and unafraid to confront complex emotional landscapes.
Victoria Dugger (b. 1991, Columbus, Georgia) is a visual artist based in Athens, Georgia. She earned her BFA from Columbus State University in 2016 and her MFA in Painting from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in 2022. Her solo debut in New York, Out of Body, premiered at Sargent’s Daughters in 2021, followed by Tough Love in 2024. Her work has been featured in Vogue, FRIEZE, Hyperallergic, ARTnews, and The New York Times. Dugger was named a 2023 Georgia Woman to Watch by the National Museum of Women in the Arts and is the recipient of both the 2023 South Arts Southern Prize and the 2024 Hudgens Prize. Most recently, she was awarded a 2024 MacDowell Fellowship. Dugger is represented by Sargent’s Daughters.
These prints will be available for purchase at the Lyndon House Arts Center beginning August 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm. Each print is obtainable for $100 plus tax.

2024 8th Limited-Edition Print
Creatures at Dusk by Michele Dross
Our eighth annual Limited-Edition Print, Creatures at Dusk was created by Michele Dross. The 5-color screen print was produced at Two Parts Press, operated by Jon Swindler and Sara Hess. This original edition of 50 prints was released on September 18, 2024 at Hidden Gem.

Dross is well known for her ceramics, which are characterized by incised line drawings depicting imaginative narratives between characters in the natural world. Animals, humans, and plants interact in illustrated scenes that draw on mythology and a reverence for the beauty and mysticism of nature. Accents of color activate the picture plane and guide the viewer’s eye around the image. Dross’ signature style has transferred beautifully from ceramics to printmaking, creating an image that captures her playful and wonderous worlds.
Michele Dross is a nationally-recognized ceramic artist based in Athens, GA. She received a BFA in Ceramics and a BAE in Art Education from The University of Georgia in 2013. Following graduation and one year of post baccalaureate in Ceramics at UGA, she worked as a production potter for R. Wood Studio, taught art at Gaines Elementary School, and maintained a consistent studio practice in ceramics. Dross has been a full-time ceramicist since 2019. She works out of her backyard studio in Athens, making small-batch production pottery that ships to collectors across the country.
