Mina Dinesen is from Alexandria, Virginia, and is currently pursuing a double major in Studio Art (concentration in filmmaking) and Psychology. Her love for both subjects has informed her creative process, allowing her to combine the genres into artworks. Her works center around human consciousness, forming community, gender dynamics, and queerness. She often creates drawings, portraits, and videos for her personal friends and family, but has recently begun branching out to share her works with a larger audience. A set of commissioned art pieces by Mina can be viewed on UV A Grounds at Shannon Library inside Saxbys cafe. Outside of UVA, she has worked as an assistant art teacher for kids, and has spent a vast majority of her life thinking about and making as much art as possible. Mina is also involved in the theatre organization First Year Players at UV A. She looks forward to continuing making artworks for the Charlottesville community and beyond through the wonderful opportunities made available via the Miller Arts program.
