Ronna Nemitz is a Phoenix-based artist whose work examines memory, notions of time, gesture, and autobiography. She received a BFA (1995) from The University of Wyoming and an MFA (2011) from Arizona State University. Her most recent project was a solo exhibition at Northern Arizona University titled Almost Everything. The work considered how family shapes perception and experience, brought together fifteen years of video and installation work, alongside new iterations of ongoing projects. Nemitz explores the intersections of memory, inheritance, and landscape through her work.
Endless Numbered Days, a video installation featured at the Phoenix Art Museum, confronted the toll caring for a terminally ill parent takes on the caregiver.
Homesickness and Other Endeavors, an installation that renovated the Eric Fischl Gallery into a domestic residence where rooms were designed to elicit the underlying currents that shape a household.
Her most recent work, Amnesia and Other Stories, is an on-going multi-media project that examines life cycles of loss and manipulates photographic portraits to visualize the operation of memory.
Nemitz teaches art at Mesa Community College. Her work has been exhibited at the Phoenix Art Museum, Eric Fischl Gallery, and Mesa Community College Art Gallery and FOUND:RE PHOENIX.
