About the Artist

Depp escaped from high school in Virginia to Cooper Union School of Art in NYC where she found her people and earned her BFA in painting and then a little later an MFA from Rutgers University. Depp traveled to India in 1991 where she did a 2 month residency at the Kanoria Center in Ahmedabad. The time in India clarified Depp’s commitment to “not knowing,” and moral uncertainty (long before the cultivation of fake news). A Cape Cod dune shack residency was pivotal in her decision to leave NYC for the Catskill area where she embarked on adventures in parenting, bee-keeping, and running a car on vegetable oil for over 200,000 miles. Currently, Depp lives in Kiskatom where she has a large vegetable garden, an incredible view of the Catskills running along her back yard, and a studio in a barn. She is a teaching artist at Fishkill Correctional Faciltiy for Rehailitation Through the Arts in addition to teaching in the College Program at Greene Corrections and Brookwood Juvenile Faciltiy through Columbia Greene Community College where she also teaches Computer Graphics on campus.
