Ingrid Dee Magidson is an American artist known for her use of combining industrial materials, collage, paint and Renaissance and Baroque images into transparent layers or shadow boxes.

Influenced by Joseph Cornell, Salvador Dalí and the Surrealists in her use of antique objects, butterflies and insect specimens.

Her art career began in 2005 when she started experimenting with flexible transparent sheets of acetate on which Renaissance images had been transferred.

The acetate was not transparent enough to elicit the floating quality of the subject she was searching for and soon moved to rigid panels of clear acrylic or Plexiglas.

They continued to feature Magidson's work honoring Catherine the Great at their annual dinners in 2012 at Phillips de Pury and 2013 at the Urban Zen Center.
