Lisa Dinhofer was born in Brooklyn and was educated in the New York City public school system. She received her B.A. in painting at Brandeis University and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. She’s received various grants, including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, MacDowell, Yaddo and Ucross.
Her work has been consistently exhibited in museum and gallery shows, starting with Jill Kornblee Gallery in the late 1970s. Today, Dineen is represented by Denise Bibro Fine Art in the Chelsea section of New York City.
In 2001, Dineen was awarded a significant commission from MTA, Arts for Transit. Completed in 2003, it is a 90 ft, glass mosaic mural consisting of five walls on the mezzanine of the 42nd and 8th Avenue subway station (at the Port Authority).
She teaches drawing at the National Academy of Design, School of Fine Art. I have enjoyed a varied academic experience teaching and lecturing at Pratt Institute, West Connecticut State University and Connecticut College, for example.
