About

Joelle Dietrick develops two-dimensional and time-based artworks that consider contemporary nomadism and 21st century power structures. With a particular interest in female expatriates, she considers how these adventurous women negotiate their wanderlust with a desire for a home while in competition for boundaryless careerists. She completed a BFA in Painting at Penn State (1996) and an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego (2006). She was born in Pennsylvania and lives in Berlin.
