Fo Wilson uses the language of furniture to investigate ideas around identity, culture and the human experience and creates work that often crosses boundaries between, art, design, and craft. She graduated with an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design’s Furniture Design program in 2005 with a concentration in art history. Prior to her graduate studies, she ran her own graphic design consultancy with offices in New York and the San Francisco Bay area. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and previously taught at the Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, as well as the California College of Art (formerly CCAC) and Parsons School of Design. She writes and lectures about art, design and craft and is also an independent curator. Her work has been exhibited nationally and is included in the collection of The Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design.
