Mark Dineen

Dineen was mostly raised in the agricultural communities of northern Illinois. As the son of a carpenter, craft and construction have long been at the front of his mind. Working in the fields, factories, and construction sites of the Midwest greatly inform his perspective on art and design today.

His studio practice explores the plural nature of our material vernacular and its cross sections with craft, manufacturing, domesticity, and landscape. The form of his work varies to include furniture, drawing, painting, sculpture and land art. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally for over a decade.

Dineen is currently an Associate Professor of Sculpture and the Foundations Co-Coordinator in the Department of Art and Art History at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO.
