She received a BFA in painting from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and an MFA in painting from Boston University. In the late 1990s she began to incorporate digital technologies into her work, and in 2005 she was awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Grant in Computer Arts. Currently she is a professor and assistant chairperson of The Department of Digital Arts at Pratt Institute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gannis identifies as a visual storyteller. With the use of 21st Century representational technologies she narrates through a \u201cdigital looking glass\u201d where reflections on power, sexuality, marginalization, and agency often emerge. She is fascinated by contemporary modes of digital communication, the power (and sometimes the perversity) of popular iconography, and the situation of identity in the blurring contexts of technological virtuality and biological reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since 2003 Gannis\u2019s work has appeared in 20 solo exhibitions and numerous group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.\u00a0 Her most recent solo exhibitions include \u201cThe Garden of Earthly Delights\u201d at <a href=\"http:\/\/t.sidekickopen14.com\/e1t\/c\/5\/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJN7t5XX4QsN8FN64JvZHdnBd2W5v_Sgz56dyjmf3sC9Cx02?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hrm.org%2Fexhibits.html&amp;si=4809359700262912&amp;pi=ea68a3aa-4cd4-40f3-d331-b5d77ad2d7d0\"><span class=\"s2\">The Hudson River Museum,<\/span><\/a> Yonkers, NY (currently on view) and at <a href=\"http:\/\/t.sidekickopen14.com\/e1t\/c\/5\/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJN7t5XX4QsN8FN64JvZHdnBd2W5v_Sgz56dyjmf3sC9Cx02?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kasiakaygallery.com%2Fcarla-gannis%2F&amp;si=4809359700262912&amp;pi=ea68a3aa-4cd4-40f3-d331-b5d77ad2d7d0\"><span class=\"s2\">Kasia Kay Art Projects<\/span><\/a> in Chicago, IL, 2014.
