New York–based artist Danielle Dimston has received numerous grants and awards, including from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Stephen and Palmina Pace Foundation, and the Peter S. Reed Foundation. Funding from Artists Space supported the launch of The Ladder Project, which was later commissioned by the Millay Colony for the Arts for its fundraiser. A grant for a site-specific installation helped inaugurate Smack Mellon in Dumbo, Brooklyn, and a commission from Tiffany & Co. marked the opening of their Soho, Manhattan location. Dimston has been an artist-in-residence at Yaddo, the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, and Mino Art Paper Village in Japan.
After studying drawing and painting at the New York Studio School, Dimston earned her MFA from Boston University. She has taught as a visiting professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and as a visiting artist at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Dimston has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad. Her work is held in public and private collections, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, which acquired a suite of prints produced by C.R. Ettinger Editions in Philadelphia. She is represented by Municipal Bonds.
