Through the intentional act of gathering, cultivating, and crafting organic materials, Dena creates moments in time to honor nature.
Dena Haden is an artist from New Bedford, Massachusetts, who uses wood, metal, fibers, wax, plant-based materials, and kombucha culture to explore the natural cycle of something that takes shape—living, ever-evolving, and malleable—and the residue it leaves behind. She views making art as a practice for connecting—bringing forth rhythmic energies and exploring through sound, movement, matter, and her own state of awareness.
Dena Haden is the director of the Co-Creative Center, and she is also a co-founder and team member of SuperflatNB, a mural arts organization in New Bedford, Massachusetts. For her work in the arts, Haden has received numerous awards and grants, including the South Coast Emerging Leader Award, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and a Mass Cultural Council Grant.
In addition to her work in the arts community, she has exhibited internationally in Europe and now in Japan, and her work is included in numerous private and public collections in the United States, Italy, and Turkey.
