Dolan Geiman

Dolan Geiman (b. 1977, Hermitage, VA) is a mixed-media artist specializing in the reuse of found materials (reclaimed wood, salvaged metal, vintage  papers) to create highly textured and intricately detailed original art pieces. Previously employed as an Interpretive Naturalist for the USDA Forest Service, Geiman seeks to combine his interests in art-making with his studies of biology and American history. Inspired by his longstanding fascination with the  flora and fauna of his native Shenandoah Valley, country-western iconography, and folk and agrarian traditions, Geiman’s expansive portfolio includes large-scale faux-taxidermy wall sculptures, elaborate paper collage portraits of classic American icons and Animalia, as well as a plethora of mixed media  works.
