R.T. Livingston is a conceptual artist living and working in New York City and Woodstock, New York. Since the mid nineties, the environment has become the inspiration for a body of work that runs the gamut from large-scale installations to photographic series.

"My inspiration comes from the land itself. Traveling is essential to the development of my aesthetic. The geological and topographical peculiarities of each region inspire the work. The environment itself offers the material, the media, which becomes the focal point of the work, and as such, mirrors the beauty and energy of the earth in a particular setting. Currently Livingston is addressing issues relating to harnessing natural energy sources.

At Daemon College in Buffalo, New York, where Livingston studied with Elizabeth Murray, she earned a degree in Fine Arts. At Princeton, she studied History of Photography with Peter Bunnell. While working on her Ph.D. at Rutgers University, she joined the curatorial staff at the university's Zimmerli Art Museum.

During the late seventies and early eighties she presided over Lapp Princess Press, publisher of works of art, in book form, by such artists as Chuck Close, Elizabeth Murray, Sylvia and Robert Mangold, James Rosenquist and others.

In the mid-eighties, Livingston founded "The Page Museum: An Alternative Exhibition Space for Art." The Los Angeles artist, Erika Rothenberg, exhibited with The Page in 1983.

Since 1990, Livingston has presided over Sprocket Art & Co., Inc., a company she co-founded as a piece of performance art, imitating the corporate world in order to enter it. The Sprocket philosophy centers on breaking through the elite confines of the commercial art world, taking art objects into the open market.

R.T. Livingston has served on the Producers' Council for the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival, the board of directors at Franklin Furnace, the exhibition and benefit committees for the Woodstock Guild, the permanent collection committee of the Woodstock Artists Association and the board of directors of ASK: the Arts Society of Kingston. Livingston's work has been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe and is included in numerous private collections..
