Offsite Gallery “Wish You Were Here” May 16 – July 11, 2025
Derek Munn is an artist and educator living in Norfolk, VA. As an artist, Derek moves seamlessly between mediums with bodies of work in visual arts, performance, writing, and design. The common thread tying his artistic work together is the theme of asking existential questions involving creation and human experience.
While his work doesn’t offer any definitive answers, it serves as a catalyst for the audience to question their assumptions of existence and human nature. Memory, love, self-awareness, and natural patterns/cycles are recurring themes no matter the medium.
Derek is an alum of Old Dominion University (BFA, 2006), The School of Visual Arts in New York City (MFA, 2012), and Cooper Union (Post-Grad Certificate, 2013). He is currently teaching graphic design courses at Old Dominion University, and is a freelance graphic designer and lettering artist.
