Adrienne Defendi is an artist whose work explores the cyclical, the ephemeral, and the fragility of life. Creating in a variety of mediums – analog and digital photography, alternative processes, printmaking and pewter – her artistic practice is process-oriented and includes meditative ritual and reiterative exploration. A Cadogan Contemporary Art Award recipient and MFA graduate of San Josè State University, Adrienne has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, and is currently an artist-in-residence with the City of Palo Alto’s Cubberley Artist Studio Program.
