ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
DAWN CERNY is a Seattle-based artist and arts educator. Art critic Jen Graves described Cerny's work as literary, historical, and political. It's also messy, pulpy, direct, and poetically profound. Oh, and it's funny. Cerny uses her work to look for aspects of the comedic and tragic aspects of humans drive for safety and desire to belong. Her works on paper, sculptures and collaborative projects have been exhibited at the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Western Bridge, Seattle; Seattle Art Museum; Portland Art Museum, Portland, OR; Cooper Cole Gallery, Toronto, ON; Derek Eller Gallery, New York, NY and part of Nancy Shavers booth at Viva Arte Viva exhibition in the 2017 Venice Biennale. Cerny's exhibitions and work have been written about in Art Forum, Art Week, Art On Paper, The Stranger, Seattle Weekly, and the Seattle Times. Cerny received a BFA in printmaking and painting from Cornish College of the Arts and an MFA in sculpture from Bard College Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Annandale-on- Hudson, NY. Currently, Cerny is teaching Printmaking and Design and Color at Seattle University.
