FINLEY
Finley is known for her intense use of color, geometric paintings layered with symbolism, monumental murals, multi-disciplinary collaborations, and her activism through urban art interventions, including her acclaimed Wallpapered Dumpsters.

As the creator of the Every Women Biennial—formerly the Whitney Houston Biennial, 2014 to 2021, she exhibited over 1,200 female-identifying and non-binary artists in New York, Los Angeles, and London. The result was an interdisciplinary explosion of art hung salon style. By presenting such a rich variety—from paintings to performances, sculptures and flash mobs—the Every Women Biennial is a social practice artwork in itself. In an exceptionally radical act for such a grand-scale exhibition, not a single artist who submitted work was turned away—no one was rejected. Her art and public works produce the conditions needed to change our world, encouraging other artists to create alongside her in spaces defined by vibratory beauty where all are welcome to glimpse the utopia that is already present, that we need only lean into.
Finley has shown internationally and her work has been featured in the The New York Times, La Repubblica, Dazed, Fast Company, Women’s Wear Daily, LALA, and more.
