DAKOTA X
Artist Statement

Dakota X (b. Boston, 1961) is a contemporary American Painter. They received their BFA and BS Masters of Arts in Teaching, Art Education from The Museum School of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University. Their work has been shown and is included in the permanent collection of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), Provincetown, MA. They were a recipient of the Orlowsky Freed Foundation Grant sponsored in part by PAAM (2011) and a finalist in the shortlist of seventy for the 2018 BP Portrait Award, National Portrait Gallery, London.

Dakota X's artistic work examines the complexities of individual experience particularly in relation to home, isolation and memory. Their stark landscape paintings often feature marginalized communities located on the fringes of American society.
