Constance DeJong

Constance DeJong (born 1950) is an American visual artist who works in the margin between sculpture and painting/drawing. Her predominate medium is metal with light as a dominant factor.[1][page needed] She is currently working in New Mexico[2] and is a professor of sculpture at the University of New Mexico.[3] DeJong received a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Art Fellowship in 1982.[4] In 2003, she had a retrospective at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History. That same year, Constance DeJong: Metal[1] was published and released by University of New Mexico Press. Her work has been described by American art critic Dave Hickey as "work worth seeing and thinking about under any circumstances".[5]
