Lena Wolff grew up living semi-communally with her family at the Zen Center in Los Angeles in the 1970’s and is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She works with a range of material approaches including drawing, paper collage, sculpture, murals, text-based pieces and public art, in fluid practice that extends out of American craft and folk art traditions, while at the same time being connected to the modern and contemporary movements of geometric abstraction, minimalism, social practice and feminist art. Most recently Wolff has explored several interdisciplinary collaborations at a residency at the de Young Museum in San Francisco in the fall of 2017. Wolff received an MFA in Printmaking from San Francisco State University (2003). She has exhibited at the Headlands Center for the Arts, the Legion of Honor Museum, The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, Southern Exposure,among other spaces. In addition to private collections, her work is in the public collections of the One Archive, the San Francisco Arts Commission, the Alameda County Arts Commission, Facebook, the Cleveland Clinic, the University of Iowa Museum and the Zuckerman Museum of Art, among others.
