Biography

Hunter Wayne Reynolds was born on July 30, 1959, in Rochester, Minnesota.[1] His parents were Danielle (née Dusseau) and Robert Reynolds.[1] Around 1966 his parents divorced and he moved to Florida, followed by a move to California.[1]

He attended Otis College of Art and Design (formerly Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design) and received a B.F.A. degree in 1984.[1] After graduation he moved to New York City and founded ART + Positive, an ACT UP affinity group which protested for AIDS.[1]

Around 1989 he was diagnosed with HIV.[1] After his diagnosis he created a drag persona "Patina du Prey", who wore full ball gowns.[5] It was through this persona he worked as a performance artist for many years.[1] In 2017, he was a Guggenheim fellow.[1]

Reynolds died of squamous cell carcinoma on June 12, 2022, in New York City, at the age of 62.[1]
