A native of Conyers, Georgia, MaDora Frey employs a diverse artistic practice to explore her fascination with both the natural and built environment. Frey’s work takes the form of temporary outdoor installations, of which a photograph remains; immersive, site-specific indoor installations; and public works.
Her notable commissions include large-scale outdoor public works created for the Katonah Museum of Art, Dashboard US at Woodruff Park, and Perennial Projects. Frey’s recent exhibitions include solo and two-person shows at the Massey Klein Gallery, NY; the Georgia State University Welch Gallery; Camayuhs Gallery; and the Lamar Dodd Plaza Gallery. Her group shows include exhibitions at select institutions, among them, MOCA GA, Atlanta Contemporary, and Mint Gallery. Frey has received residency grants from the Vermont Studio Center, Prince of Wales Foundation, and the Marble House Project.
She received her MFA in painting, magna cum laude, from the New York Academy of Art and her BFA, with a concentration in drawing and printmaking, from Auburn University. Additionally, Frey studied at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. Her work is held in numerous private collections, including that of Tim and Lauren Schrager.
