Suprina

About the Artist

Suprina studied sculpture at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia but gained the bulk of her knowledge of her craft from working in the field of promotional, prop making. Her clients included Annie Leibovitz, Apple Computer, Bloomingdales, and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. After 9/11, having lived in the neighborhood at the time, Suprina decided she would focus solely on her own artworks, which discuss environmental, social and political issues. She has won numerous grants including 2 Puffin Foundation, a LMCC, NoMaa, Individual and Community Decentralization grants and was awarded Art in Public Places by Dutchess County Executive Arts Awards in 2021. Currently, Suprina has a public sculpture titled DNA Totem in Poughkeepsie and a Micro gallery at 299 Main st named CONVEY/ER/OR that shows social, political and environmental art.
