Dina Wind, Wheelbarrow, 1991
painted steel
55 x 72 x 20 in.

Dina Wind received a B.A. from Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a Certificate of Art Appreciation in 1972 from the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania. She continued her studies at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where she completed an M.A. in 1974. A winner of several awards, she has exhibited her sculptures throughout the mid-Atlantic region, including the Allentown Art Museum, the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia, and the Three Rivers Arts Festival in Pittsburgh. Wind creates her welded-steel sculptures, which she likens to three-dimensional still-life paintings, by using a TIG welding machine to combine discarded farm implements and other metal scraps into flowing, organic compositions that are often tinged with humor.
