Blyth Hazen

Blyth Hazen has a BA in Art and Philosophy from Austin College in Sherman, TX and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA.

Her creative and teaching practice involves making things that move. Sometimes they appear to do this on their own. on a screen, while other times they need more human engagement to be activated – like a puppet, robot or automaton. Blyth first came to Montserrat College of Art in the late 1990’s to help integrate digital tools into the curriculum. Since then she has worked with students from their first year to their senior year, teaching tools and concepts as diverse as drawing, 2D animation, 3D modeling, game development, stop motion, kinetics and robotics and puppets. Blyth is currently the Coordinator of the Animation + Interactive Media (A+IM) Program where she is inspired every day by the characters and the worlds her students create.
