Dwyer is a California-born and upstate NY-based ceramicist and painter whose unique vision informs the creation of surreal and whimsical ceramic sculptures and oil paintings that draw inspiration from a diverse range of artistic movements, including Rococo, Surrealism, Fauvism, Greek Mythology, and Popular Culture, all infused with a determined female gaze and humor-filled expression. Through her work, Dwyer challenges the socially constructed notions of identity prevalent in contemporary society, channeling her female perspective to shift societal narrative from commodification of women’s bodies that dominates art history and contemporary advertising to self-determination and confidence in women’s own agency.

"In my work, I think about the ways women's bodies have been commodified and how to reclaim and expand the narrative to show our interests, desires, and pleasure."
