Our Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 3 with muralist Hannah Webb, who is also known as "The Obanoth" on social media. Her lecture will be at 5:30 p.m. in Sheldon Museum of Art.

Webb is a Los Angeles-based artist with a focus on dynamic abstracted realism. Although her signature art style is graphic, the work is rooted in a fine arts background, and she begins all pieces with a brush regardless of the size of the project.
