Biography

Jeanne Wilkinson is an artist, curator and writer living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Formerly an abstract painter, her paintings and drawings are now elements in complex collages and animations that merge fantasy and reality. Using tools like Photoshop, After Effects, Garageband and a Nikon camera, she creates a kind of digital alchemy. Coming from the lakes and fields of Minnesota and Wisconsin, she earned her MFA at Pratt and now shares a studio in downtown Brooklyn with her husband, artist Frank Lind. The vivid sense of color and respect for earthly beauty in her work reflects time spent on a rural commune and eight years of dairy farming in Wisconsin. Her artwork has been shown extensively in New York and internationally. She has taught at Pratt Institute and currently teaches art and art history at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY, in Brooklyn, NY.
