A practicing artist for the past four decades, Donna Dennis is a Guggenheim fellow, multiple NEA grantee and Whitney Biennial alumnus. She first achieved notoriety in the mid 1970s with her large architecturally-inspired sculptural installations. Generously deconstructing her architectural prototypes with a language that is both evocatively detailed and highly formal, her work is steeped in a deep well of personal emotion.
