Dianne Pappas is a visual artist who creates sculpture and installation. Using utilitarian material, she creates experiences for her viewers that elicit play, precariousness and the feminine. The underpinning of her studio practice is built through decoding systems, parsing language, and highlighting the dismissed and imperfect. Dianne has shown her work at the Fitchburg Art Museum, the virtual AREACODE art fair in Boston, and just recently had a solo show at the Launchpad - Boston Sculptors Gallery. Dianne has a studio at the Everett Mills in Lawrence, MA and has been an adjunct faculty member in Art & Design at Northern Essex Community College (NECC) since 2013. After receiving her BA in Mathematics from Smith College in 1987, Dianne worked in management consulting for more than a decade before pursuing art full-time. She received her MFA in Studio Art from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2012 and has been a visiting artist and lecturer at Keystone College in Pennsylvania, The Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles and the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, where she served as Assistant Program Director of the MFA in Studio Arts program. Dianne is a graduate of the NECC Leadership Academy and serves on the Advisory Council for the Bowdoin College Museum of Art in Brunswick, Maine. |
