Dennis Kowal’s life as a sculptor spans five decades. He studied at the University of Illinois in Navy Pier, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, earning a B.S. and M.F.A.

Kowal served as artist-in-residence at “Coolfont,” Haystack-Hinckley, Dartmouth College, Maudslay State Park, OX-BOW, Amherst College, De Cordova Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the University of Georgia, Yaddo, and MacDowell.
