Sean Wilkinson

Sean Wilkinson had the good fortune to work closely with three of the greatest photographers and teachers of the second half of the twentieth century: Minor White, Harry Callahan, and Aaron Siskind. Upon completing his M.F.A. at the Rhode Island School of Design, Wilkinson taught at Harvard University before accepting a position in 1973 at the University of Dayton, where he was hired to create and develop an entirely new course of study in photography. In addition to establishing B.A. and B.F.A. programs at UD that have earned national reputations, Wilkinson has sustained an active career as a photographer. His photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the country, he has won numerous awards and grants, and his work is in many significant museum, individual and corporate collections. Wilkinson also served as chair of the Department of Visual Arts for seven years from 1992-1999. He has taught in UD's study abroad program in Florence, Rome, Athens, and London.
