Wilson received her MFA from Columbia University and has held residencies at Yale University, New Haven; Massachusetts College of Art, Boston; and The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia. Wilson lives and works in Carrizozo, New Mexico where she is co-founder of the artist organizations MoMAZoZo and the Carrizozo Artist in Residency (AIR).
