Born in Washington D.C., Connie Noyes currently lives and works as a full time artist in Chicago. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her Masters Degree in Psychology from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont California. She recently completed her 50th lifetime move. She is a nomad.Through study, travel and her obsession with diverse experiences she developed an interest in the unconscious psychology of culture. It was during residencies in a number of vastly divergent cultures, Dubai, South Africa, Bulgaria, Western Europe, Brazil and Tunisia that it became obvious how artists are able to utilize the language of art to bridge or by-pass cultural differences. The artists she worked with and continues relationships with came to know each other in intimate connected ways – as humans without labels.
In 2006 Noyes was instrumental in bringing about the exhibition July 2006 in Paris at Europia Gallerie. The exhibition centered on artists’ response to the violence between Lebanon and Israel of that year. In 2008 she curated an exhibition at California Institute of Integral Studies with the international group of painters Pintura Fresca and in 2009 began the organization A.R.G. -Artists Respond Globally. She organized and mounted an exhibition in 2010 during Chicago Artists month titled In My Own Backyard I Can See The World for A.R.G. Eight Chicago artists were paired with eight International artists and worked collaboratively on themes of their choice. Her personal artwork has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions and collections worldwide including London, Florence, Paris, San Francisco, Washington DC, Dubai, Veliko Turnova, Bulgaria and Bangi, Malaysia. Her current project, In the Pink: the 1,000,000 people art project is the culmination of her interests and experiences
