About the Speaker:

Neill Slaughter has had 30 solo exhibits of his drawings and paintings since 1978 and participated in more than 75 national and international group exhibitions. His art has been reviewed by leading newspapers as well as magazines, and his work is in public and private collections throughout the world. During his 36 years of teaching, Professor Slaughter has spent a considerable amount of time traveling throughout the world to teach, conduct research and create art. His extensive travels have influenced what he paints, which often reflect the social conditions of his surroundings. Among the awards and honors Professor Slaughter has received are a Ford Foundation Fellowship (1977-78), a Scottish Arts Council Grant (1980), an LMU Research Grant to Africa (1988) and a Fulbright Fellowship to India (1992). In 1993, Professor Slaughter moved to Southampton NY to begin teaching for Long Island University. Slaughter, a tenured full professor, resides in Southampton, NY and New York City.

“Although traveling in India or Africa is both physically and mentally demanding, India is the most visually stimulating place I have ever visited. It is a “painter’s paradise.” – Neill Slaughter
