Jeanne Dunning was born in Chicago in 1960 and continued to get her education from the Oberlin College. After receiving her BA in 1982, she went to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she earned her MFA in 1985. Her first show was at the Feature Gallery in Chicago in 1987. After that she had many shows in the US as well as in Europe. Her solo exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the James Harris Gallery in Seattle. "Chicago artist Jeanne Dunning investigates the human body to create color photographs that question issues of identity, sexuality, and the interior and exterior self. Drawing from a variety of sources, Dunning’s images appear to be other than what they are: a piece of fruit resembles a human orifice; a woman’s head appears to be shaped like a phallus; a human hand takes on a smooth yet lumpy intimacy." The Los Angeles Times stated that her photographs fascinate and disturbm yet attract and repulse.
