Angela Dufresne's often large and sprawling canvases depict fictitious or hypothetical structures that make reference in their title's to specific architects, institutions, or films.

In past works  Dufresne employed similar hypothetical guidelines in the creation of her "bastard portraits" -portraits that, indicated by their titles, were meant to illustrate what the progeny of such unlikely pairings as Julia Child and Kris Kristofferson might look like.

Angela Dufresne was born in Hartford, CT in 1969. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Angela Dufresne is also represented by Monya Rowe Gallery in New York and by Kinkead Contemporary in Los Angeles.
