Darlene Charneco is a contemporary Latin-American artist whose mixed-media mapping series looks at people, networks, homes, and communities as part of a larger organism’s growth stage. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States at venues including PRAXIS in Chelsea, NY, the Katonah Museum, the Hunterdon Museum, The Islip Art Museum, and the Parrish Art Museum, and is featured in the recent book ‘The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography’ by Katherine Harmon. She was awarded the 2017 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and recently completed a commission for the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C. Charneco lives and works on the East End of Long Island, and is a part of the Guild Hall’s Permanent Collection.
