Lindsey A. Wolkowicz was raised in the Detroit area and moved to Milwaukee, WI in 1999 to attend the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design where she received her BFA in Painting in 2003. In Wisconsin, Wolkowicz worked as an instructor and administrator at MIAD as well as a freelance art writer while an active member of the Seventh Floor Studios Collective.
In 2006, Wolkowicz had her first solo exhibition in Milwaukee, WI and moved to Portland, OR. In the year that followed, she worked in a non-profit arts education program, while producing new work for solo exhibitions in Portland, OR and Cypress, Texas.
Wolkowicz is currently completing her MFA in Painting/ Drawing at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY where she lives and works. The focus of Wolkowicz’s recent work is based in the formal and conceptual relationship between the body and the architectural space. She uses a combination of drawing, video and mixed media assemblage to explore the capacity of this relationship to discuss the intangible of life; transition, memory, the effects of experience, emotional and psychological states of being.
Wolkowicz’s visual work has been shown in several group/ juried exhibitions as well as included in both private and institutional collections nationally. Outside of the studio, Wolkowicz is committed to the connection between art and everyday life through the process of looking, writing, participation in critical discourse and art education in all of its forms.
