Beverly Semmes is an internationally-recognized artist who has been exhibiting since 1990 and is the recipient of numerous fellowships and grants. Her work was included in several important group shows early in her career, such as Plastic Fantastic Lover at the Blum Helman Warehouse in New York City; Bad Girls at New York City's New Museum; and Bad Girls West at the UCLA Art Museum in Los Angeles.
Extending the body form, Semmes' sculptural installations, often eccentric giant dresses, are both humorous and impossible costume; without openings for limbs, they become abstractions often filling entire rooms.
