Fawn Krieger
Fawn Krieger (born May 8, 1975) is an American interdisciplinary artist who creates discrete sculptures and immersive multi-media environments individually and sometimes in collaboration with other artists and performers, including Neal Medlyn, Tracy + the Plastics, Edwin Torres, and Anna Oxygen.

Krieger’s work has been commissioned and installed at numerous venues, including The Kitchen, Art in General, Nice & Fit Gallery, The Moore Space, Von Lintel Gallery, Galerie West, Soloway Gallery, Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Portl ...
