Bio

Cheyenne Concepcion is a Filipino-American artist and designer whose work explores how architecture, politics, history and aesthetics shape place across a wide range of media including sculpture, design, installation and public art. She creates craft-inspired sculptures, large-scale public installations and functional objects that confront hidden histories within the American landscape. By shining a light on the stories of the people and places that have been overlooked, Concepcion uses her work to engage ideas of cultural memory, migration and the built environment. She works between San Francisco and New York City.

Concepcion has received fellowships and residencies from Socrates Sculpture Park, Monument Lab, Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, Haystack Mountain School of Craft, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the Goethe Institut. Recent select group exhibitions include ‘Looped In’ at Pallas Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2025), ‘FIBER 2025’ at Silvermine Gallery, New Canaan, CT,  (2025); ‘Considering January’ at Patricia Sweetow Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2024); and a two-person show at Highline Nine Galleries, New York, NY (2023).  A self-taught artist, Cheyenne completed a BA in Urban Studies and Planning from UC San Diego and a Masters in Landscape Architecture from UC Berkeley where she was awarded a full ride GOP fellowship and the prestigious Excellence in Design Award.
