SUMMARY:Tom Radovich: Wonder Room
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nThomas Radovich is the former Associate Director of Admissions and an artist who works in woodcarving\, painting\, printmaking\, and animation to explore topics of nostalgia\, memory\, and play. His current body of work is a series of wood carvings based off his childhood drawings. \nAs a child\, Radovich created over a thousand figurative drawings on paper that he would transform into paper cut-out figures. He would then integrate the cut-outs into play with other action figures. His grandmother preserved these drawings in a manila folder labeled “Thomas Cut-outs.” The folder of cut-outs grew into a shoebox full of over 1\,200 drawings. \nSince 2017\, Radovich has created carved wood sculptures based on his childhood drawings. In these whimsical wood sculptures\, Radovich carefully recreates the details of the original drawings — gloss medium recreates Scotch tape that was used to repair drawings\, tears in the original drawing are recreated with a box cutter\, and the yellowing of the paper over time is reproduced with diluted acrylic paint. \nRadovich’s installation\, Wonder Room\, presents several hundred of his miniature wood figures. They are displayed on thrifted and vintage shelving units\, evoking the imaginative and interior space of an adolescent  bedroom filled with collections and playthings. \nAfter creating hundreds of these wood sculptures\, Radovich began creating animations with them including a series of stop-motion animations retelling Dragon Ball Z\, a cartoon that he has not seen in two decades\, from memory. \n

SUMMARY:Wells Chandler: Psychedelic Soccer Dada
DESCRIPTION:Opening in the newly renovated Montserrat Gallery is the first regional solo exhibition by the Bronx-based artist\, Wells Chandler. Chandler uses vernacular and so-called “craft” materials\, such as patchwork\, crochet\, clay\, cake\, and other media to build queer communities alongside and with others. Highlighting Chandler’s extensive drawing practice\, Psychedelic Soccer Dada is an immersive experience featuring the artist’s iconic crocheted drawings of whimsical yarn figures and objects\, patchwork bean bag chairs\, drawings made in collaboration with the artist’s friends and students\, as well as selections from Chandler’s extensive collection of drawings made by neurodiverse artists. In the exhibition\, Chandler engages with histories of art that celebrate\, rather than exclude\, diversity and queerness as its dominant language. \nWells Chandler is a Bronx based artist who explores ecology\, community\, gender and queer iconography through the mediums of crochet\, embroidery\, drawing and cake. He received his MFA from Yale University in 2011 where he was awarded the Ralph Mayer Prize for proficiency in materials and techniques. From 2016-17 he was a recipient of the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program. Recent solo exhibitions include Galerie Eric Mouchet (Brussels\, Belgium)\, Andrew Rafacz (Chicago\, IL)\, Diablo Rosso (Panama City\, Panama)\, and Galerie Eric Mouchet (Paris\, France).

SUMMARY:Shapeshifters
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, September 20\, 5-7pm \nShapeshifters explores themes of change and transformation. Drawing on the fantastical\, morphological\, and psychological associations with shapeshifting\, the participating artists seek to transgress or transcend the corporeal and psychic dimensions of the self or the collective consciousness. Themes of impermanence and fragility also permeate the work\, both in terms of its content and material. \nMultidisciplinary artist Anukriti explores meditative reinventions of prayer that seek to embody notions of queer spirituality. Aris Moore (Montserrat College of Art ’98) reinvents ideas of portraiture through the creation of anthropomorphic figures that represent or stand-in for a myriad of human emotions that are both endearing and complex. Boston-based artist\, Rose Ranauro\, creates vibrant paintings that depict contorted and mutable bodies\, often through aspects of play and movement\, that serve as proxies for the artist’s own body and find connections between her intuitive self and the physical body. In a new and ongoing series of drawings\, Catalina Viejo Lopez de Roda (Montserrat College of Art ’05) depicts varied drawings of heads of faces that emit or absorb light\, reflecting a continuous state of transformation. \nAnukriti works in various media\, including painting\, sculpture\, and animation. They received a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 2021 from the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM).  Anukriti has exhibited their work locally including the Distillery Gallery and a recent solo exhibition at the Boston Center for the Arts Mills Gallery in 2022.  Anukriti divides their time between Boston and New Delhi. \nAris Moore graduated with her BFA in painting and drawing from Montserrat College of Art in 1998. She previously taught visual art at Pentucket Regional Middle School in West Newbury\, Massachusetts for twenty-one years.  In 2012\, Aris earned her MFA in painting and drawing from the Art Institute of Boston. She has exhibited throughout the United States and her work has been included in art fairs throughout Europe. Her inaugural solo exhibition was presented by Jack Hanley Gallery in NYC in 2012. Recent press includes the northeast edition of New American Paintings\, Creative Block and Collage by Danielle Krysa\, and Fukt Magazine.  Aris lives and works in Portsmouth\, New Hampshire. \nRosie Ranauro is a multi-disciplinary artist\, working predominantly in painting and performance. She lives in Jamaica Plain\, MA\, and graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011 with a BFA in painting. She is currently an artist in residence at the Boston Center for the Arts. Ranauro has exhibited her work locally and internationally\, most recently at Untitled\, Miami and a 2021 solo show with Lamontagne Gallery called ‘Grow More Eyes’\, which explored the resiliency of the body. \nCatalina Viejo Lopez de Roda was born in Malaga\, but raised in the Canary Islands\, Spain. She currently lives and works in Hudson\, NY. She holds an MFA from Hunter College\, NY and a BFA from Montserrat College of Art. Her work has been included in national and international exhibitions including; HallSpace\, Boston\, MA; ProtoGomez Gallery\, New York\, NY; A.I.R Gallery\, Brooklyn\, NY; The Panacea Museum\, Bedford\, U.K; Bronx Art Space\, Bronx\, NY and The Art Complex Museum\, Duxbury\, MA. Her work has been covered by publications including; The Boston Globe\, Hyperallergic\, Artscope\, The Brooklyn Rail\, The Brooklyn Paper and Vanity Fair Italia. She has received numerous fellowships to attend artist residencies\, including; Residency 108\, Germantown\, NY\, Jentel Arts\, Sheridan\, WY and Saltonstall\, Ithaca\, NY. \nRelated Events: \nArtist Talk: Catalina Viejo\, Wednesday\, September 20\, 11-12pm \nArtist Talk: Rosie Ranauro\, Wednesday\, October 18\, 11-12pm \n  \nImage: Catalina Viejo Lopez de Roda.

SUMMARY:Midnight Snack: An Installation by Real Fake Animals
DESCRIPTION:Midnight Snack is a surrealist\, soft-sculpture installation created by the artist collective Real Fake Animals (RFA)\, an interstate collaborative group of artists spanning the east coast. Fueled by the yearning of artists wanting to create\, emotion is evoked in the installation through the expressive nature of puppetry and props. \nOn one side of the 301 Frame Gallery is an installation of  over two hundred puppet heads – compressed together in the form of a fleece blanket and created in a range of skin tones– stare out in a silent scream.  Through a tessellated pattern\, the blanket realizes the repetitious physical nature of craft in real space. In the adjacent window space\, an installation of an overflowing refrigerator brimming with an abundance of food and props spilled haphazardly. Among them\, a figure peeks out furtively\, as though caught red-handed sneaking a late-night snack. The viewers\, made an unwilling participant\, take the figure aback — revealing the scene’s sense of inner conflict\, hinting at hidden desires and untapped creative urges. \nReal Fake Animals\, a cutting-edge collective of multimedia artists\, possesses an eclectic range of skills and boundless creative abilities. Their shared desire to experiment thrives within a nurturing community space\, fostering a culture of inspiration and camaraderie that fuels the creative spirit among peers. Real Fake Animals include: \nColman Berube \nChloe Carleton \nHannah Daigle \nMax Foster \nKili Gallagher \nCoco Haseltine \nWill Higgins \nAngie Iacurci \nKal Klaza \nKiran Marwaha \nSam Rose \nQuill Rose \n  \n

SUMMARY:Shallow Waters: Views from the Bahamas.
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition of works done over the summer Josue Bessiake\nGallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm\nDates\nSeptember 5–15\, 2023 \nClosing Reception and Talk on Wednesday\, 11-12pm\n  \nThe works displayed show the transformation in my practice from before during and after a trip to the Bahamas. While there I reflected on the difference in light\, color\, and the rich history experienced there. Ranging in media and procedure the work is an amalgamation of ideas processes and discoveries in one summer. After experiencing the light and air of the Bahamas I felt my eyes become open to a range of colors that are at my disposal. Much of my work is predicated on the idea of working from life to gain a sense of empathy with my subjects\, creating something there that is meaningful to me which in turn can be expressed to the viewer. This trip was sparked by an interest in abstraction and to see much deeper. I sought to understand what it was that I had yet to see that made me avert from abstraction. The discover of the late artist Sam Gilliam triggered a great fascination with the idea that something could be expressed through pure color and form. The artist Michael P. Edwards studied directly with Gilliam and happened to work in the Bahamas. Through the help of Ari Montford who also aided in funding the trip\, we were able to connect and I studied with him personally getting a glimpse into the mind of Gilliam as well as learning from Edwards an established artist in his own right. Many of the works are inspired by Gilliam in some way or another\, the most important thing that the works explore is the marriage of differences whether it’s a difference in articulation\, color\, shape\, material\, and most importantly light\, in the hopes of creating new.

SUMMARY:Rose Olson: New Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \n“I have always been interested in the color of almost anything. Even iridescent nail polish on the hands and feet of women riding the subway fascinates me. But I am especially excited by color created with changing light. I try to emulate hues in the moving sky\, the sea and neon lights. The colors of nature\, the colors of culture and many works of art inform my paintings.”                                                                     \n                                                                                                                                                                   – Rose Olson      \n                                                                                                                                                                                                  \nRose Olson is a prolific and accomplished painter and Faculty Emeritus of Montserrat College of Art. The selection of work presented here\, a generous family gift to the college made in 2022\, spans from Olson’s early landscapes of the 1980s and abstractions of the 1990s to her later minimalist compositions using industrial plywood and liquid acrylics. In her more recent works\, Olson added numerous layers of paint to create sumptuous surfaces that enhance the natural wood grain patterns as the painting builds in luminosity. Colors change as the viewer moves or the light shifts; hard edges and added color bands heighten the works’ spatial effects.  Viewed together\, the works in the exhibition illustrate Olson’s singular vision and eclecticism that has evolved over nearly four decades.

SUMMARY:Georgina Lewis: Round the clock dream state
DESCRIPTION:Round the clock dream state presents a complex cycle of grief\, rebirth\, and euphoria to stage a tale of transformation. Using images and materials of the natural world the installation draws on the principles of alchemy and magic. Nighttime photographs of anemones and mugwort share the walls with other images while a chorus of paper sculptures occupies the middle ground. Certain materials recur: wood\, snow\, plastic\, and colored gems. Pinecones transition into brilliant 3D printed versions\, aided by a rose-gold disco ball with whom they share the space. The multiple narratives of the installation function as incantations and promises\, evoking our complex present and a possible fabulous future. \nRaised in Pennsylvania and Nova Scotia\, Georgina Lewis (she/her) is a Boston based artist. She received her MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts and holds undergraduate degrees from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and Franklin and Marshall College. Lewis works across media crafting pieces that examine dissonance: what tensions and artifacts result when one or more things come in contact. Her work has been presented at numerous venues\, including Boston University’s 808 gallery\, Grapefruits Art Space\, Portland\, OR\, Acogedor LA\, the Mills Gallery\, and Boston Cyberarts. She has been a resident at the Millay Colony and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts among others and is a Boston Center for the Arts Studio Resident. Georgina is a Core Member of Fountain Street Gallery in Boston.

SUMMARY:Here There and Everywhere: An AIM Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, May 3\, 5-7PM \nGwyn Kadish \nJames Kalajian \nGabby Morin \nDylan Silva \nKay Welch \nHere\, There\, and Everywhere is an exhibition featuring the work of fifteen graduating artists\, each with a different story to tell. These artists are not only animators\, game designers\, or toy-makers\, but storytellers\, directors\, and individuals with unique talents and direction. Every project in this exhibition has had an incredible amount of passion and hard work put into it. Though we will soon continue on our separate paths\, we have come together in this moment to celebrate our journey thus far. Before we embark on our separate ways\, we hope you will enjoy our diverse collection of work. May our stories inspire you as much as we have inspired each other.\n\nGwyn Kadish: Losing my best friend was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. I wanted to create meet me under the moon  as a tribute to him\, and as a gift to my family. Quentin was incredibly important to us\, and for me\, was the only friend I ever really had. I don’t feel like I will ever be able to fully recover from his loss\, but I hope this film can help remind me that he’s always watching over me\, and waiting to visit me when I fall asleep.  \nGwyn Kadish is an animator and character designer\, known best for dreamy and romantic themes throughout her work.

SUMMARY:An Amount of Something: A Design Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Thursday\, April 27\, 5-7PM \n \nThea Cannon: Between Words is a project centered around the daily journals of my late great-grandfather\, Calvin Young. He had a journal for every year\, spanning from the 1940s to the 1990s. The work uses words from these journals to create poetry\, as well as compositions in which the literal handwriting is placed on photos of mundane life. What do people choose to record\, and what do we experience that is never recorded? What lies between the words of a journal? \n \nStacey Clavijo Spreading Kindness through Design: As someone who is kind and thinks about others first\, I would like others to see the benefits of spreading awareness about the importance of kindness\, as it benefits others psychologically and physically. For my senior thesis\, I am focusing on the importance of kindness by creating collage experiments that visually express examples of kindness\, such as sharing\, receiving\, listening\, giving\, and kindred. I have taken inspiration from Marijn in’ Veid’s Scrambled Heart to create my heart collages\, where the heart shape is formed uniquely\, such as being fragmented into multiple pieces\, and demonstrates a transition of how these pieces rotate differently\, and therefore\, would look scrambled. The palms of hands\, heart pieces\, and backgrounds throughout these collage experiments express the spirit of kindness. \n \nKatie DaSilva Sweet Color: My thesis is mainly based around the exploration of the Munsell Color System along with making recurring experiments with different materials that I’ve come into contact with in my daily life. From using photos of window blinds\, to using the wrappers of my favorite types of candy. \n \nMadison Gerace: It Takes A Village is an exploration into ideas of expression and self expression through my own art\, as well as others’. Exploring the ideas of property values\, community\, and participation\, proving that it takes a village to make a village. Using colorful house templates to bring those who participate into the moment. Proving you don’t have to be an artist to have fun for a couple minutes\, and that you don’t always have to think of the monetary value of something while creating it… maybe it’s worth more than money. Exploring these ideas to reconsider what art is\, what the world is\, or what the world could be. \n \nPatrick Mardy PSYOPTICAL: My thesis project is to investigate how type and imagery can work together. I intend to categorize each design language and try out a wide range of non-normative approaches. \n \nJosh Marsi Transmission 1: With any artist’s work\, even those furthest separated from language\, there’s always stories and emotion acting as their sparks of inspiration. With this\, Transmission 1 looks to show the unseen and untold stories of Josh’s latest works\, offering a selection of writings and childhood stories that served as inspiration for the instrumentals making up his newest EP. \n \nSarah Mason: In Potter’s Field\, Sarah seeks to create a dialogue about humans’ relationship with the environment and the impact of our actions on the world around us. Death is the inevitable end of life\, but it can also serve as a catalyst for new growth and transformation. Each piece represents a moment in time\, a snapshot of a living ecosystem that is directly influenced by the presence and interactions of life and death.

SUMMARY:Raw - A Senior Thesis Exhibition by Mary Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, April 19\, 5-7PM \nArtist  Statement:      \nI explore the juxtaposition between the gruesome and beautiful; seduction and disgust. As a fan of all things horror and gore\, I want to display these qualities in a poetic and colorful way. I play with the application of paint seductively to inspire viewers to look at these works and their complexity. \nMy favorite painters are Hyman Bloom\, Jenny Saville\, and Cecily Brown. Another important inspiration is the book titled\, “Gurlesque”; through this collection of work by female poets\, editors Lara Glenum and Arielle Greenburg explore the importance of the grotesque and delicate from a feminist perspective. Greenburg writes\, “I believe in the zeitgeist: a ‘gurlesque’ aesthetic\, a feminism incorporating the grotesque and cruel with the spangled and dreamy.” My paintings respond to this challenge. \nMary Johnson is a Beverly based student artist at Montserrat College of Art.  Mary is working towards a BFA with a concentration in painting. Themes found in her paintings and mixed media works include the exploration of femininity\, the body\, relationships\, and identity.  Through her Internship\, and her employment at Robert Collins Gallery in Rockport\, she is increasingly involved with working with installation and directly with art going public.  Instagram: xxangelbaby420 \n                           \n                           \n

SUMMARY:In Hidden Spaces – A Senior Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Travis Lawless\nReception: Wednesday\, April 19\, 5-7pm \nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nIn Hidden Spaces\, a solo exhibition by Travis Lawless\,  is an exploration of humanity’s urge for community and creation\, together. The work lives in conversation with humanity’s fascination with wall art\, and its ever evident presence in communities. Wall art has been a part of humanity farther back than our history is recorded. Lawless combines contemporary mediums such as spray paint with historic wall art imagery\, creating a conversation for this everlasting artform. This can be seen in Signature 2\, where vibrant neon colors and stencil work are utilized with traditional imagery – representing a collaboration of past wall works while embarking on the future as well. This concept of collaboration runs deeper than just time\, as Lawless’s works also shine light to works made in collaboration with their community. For centuries\, humans have collaborated in the process of artmaking upon surfaces around us\, from cave paintings\, murals\, rock carvings to modern graffiti. Re-writing the stigma typically composed around wall art\, artist Lawless hopes to bring this art form out from its tucked away spaces\, brought out to the forefront for society to see and cherish. \n \n \n

SUMMARY:What's Mine is Yours
DESCRIPTION:Morghan Schnoll\nReception: Wednesday\, from 5-7PM \nThe work in my exhibition What’s Mine is Yours\,  captures the essence of trauma in a series of experimental mixed media works and installations. \nIn paintings\, assemblages\, collages\, and installations I am finding ways to explore the depths of the subconscious. My curiosity and desire to use symbolism in my work have led me to collect discarded\, ‘ found’ material. Picking up objects with a particular history\, one where natural trauma occurred. As well as playing with visual perspectives and juxtapositions as critical components in my work have allowed me to conjure haunting yet nostalgic imagery. \nMy artwork asks you to see something\, take a step\, and see a whole new scene. Staying open to my viewer’s imagination and interpretation has opened the possibilities of my pieces forever renewing themselves \n  \nMorghan Schnoll Artist Bio: \nMy name is Morghan Schnoll. I’m a senior attending Montserrat College of Art\, majoring in Painting with a Double Minor in Art History and Curatorial Studies. Originally from New Jersey\, I came to Massachusetts to achieve my goal of becoming a painter and am lucky to have been mentored by my teacher\, Tim Harney\, and Gallery Director\, Lynne Cooney. I had the opportunity to be the assistant curator of the “Samual Bak and the Art of Remembrance” exhibition in March 2022 and became co-curator for Montserrat Bare Galleries from 2022 through 2023. I have participated in numerous exhibitions and was given the opportunity for a solo exhibition this past October titled “Painful Pleasures.” Additionally\, having my work chosen to be displayed in the annual “Fresh Faces Exhibition” held by the Abigail Ogilvy Gallery. \nMy work expresses and reflects on my life experiences including the loss of my best friend to domestic violence during my freshman year. Using my creative abilities to my advantage has allowed me to spread awareness\, and bring traumatic topics into light. \n

SUMMARY:Mutual Expansion - A Senior Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Thursday\, April 6\, 2023 5:00 – 7:00 pm \nAudrey Permunian \nSavanah Cornell \nThe dimensions of height\, depth\, and width within which all things exist and move are questioned\, observed\, and composited–from filling space full of color and matter\, to capturing an interval of time\, devoid of color. Audrey Permunian and Savannah Cornell close in on the ideas of space and thought and how they perceive it. \nAudrey Permunian photographs their observations of the environments in which we surround ourselves in as every object\, natural or made\, mutely speaking to a sequence of actions deployed to shape\, control\, and mark the land as we shape the domain in which we live into our own. \nSavanah Cornell is presenting the series Prokaryote as a series of prints and paintings playing with organic matter and pattern while taking deep consideration how others will perceive these things. The monotypes experiment with the sporadic nature of print to create once of a kind pieces. Alongside the monotypes are paintings that have a more systematic approach while creating continues patters similar to cellular organisms. While creating these pieces the idea of movement and growth are main inspirations. The viewer is encouraged to think about these pieces and how we define a space and the idea of taking up space. \n  \n                           \n                           \n

SUMMARY:This Too Shall Pass - A Senior Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Thursday\, April 6th\, 2023\, 5 – 7 pm \nHelen Maguire Newman \nThis Too Shall Pass is a senior thesis show showcasing eleven works by artist Helen Maguire Newman. These evocative digital photographs\, often combined with drawing and text\, reflect the artist’s personal experiences with learning disabilities and mental health struggles. The pieces are embodied metaphors of internal struggles such as depression\, anxiety and dyslexia\, and share their very personal meaning of the artist’s inner struggles. \nThe artist’s process is very experimental and involves collaging and manipulating drawings and photographs into one cohesive piece. Many of the selected photographs represent raw moments in the artist’s life in which she struggled alone and in silence. Each of the sayings that are layered into each image represent moments of guidance and support that have been given to her by others; it is vital for the artist to pass these messages on to others who might also be struggling. \n

The exhibition celebrates the beautiful and personal stories that are used when representing BIPOC subjects. \nIn studying art history\, we mostly concentrate on one narrative from a single point of view. The depictions of BIPOC subjects in art are more culturally enhanced when it comes from a BIPOC viewpoint. There were a wide range of answers to the question asked to the participating artists: “How does your background influence your paintings and art practice?” In the formation of this exhibition\, it was crucial to talk about familial representation in these works and the powerful connections forged between artist and subject. When sitting down with Jameel Radcliffe (BFA ’17) it was inspiring to hear his goal of depicting the people he knows and loves in his art the ways in which he incorporates abstract elements and symbolism to tell a story. Michael Aghahowa (BFA ’16) takes the art of loved ones very seriously\, as he paints himself and the women in his life with reverence and respect. When applying elements of abstraction to portraiture and in his painting\, Frantz Lexy takes the approach that the two are synonymous and that representation is based on the subject’s mere existence in the world. Rixy has taken it upon herself to represent the narratives of her heritage and the spirituality of womanhood by celebrating the women that made her into the person she is today. \nThe world of portraiture is ever-expanding\, and the skillful imagination of the participatings artists in The Lost and Found Ones\, illustrates a deep commitment to creating art that reflects how they see the world. As contemporary art expands the need for representation\, not only in subject matter but behind the brush\, this exhibition gives a platform to these four artists who are reshaping conventions of painting and pushing the boundaries of portraiture conventions. \n-Taliyah Shepard

She creates immersive and experiential spaces that challenge conventional ways of seeing and understanding the world. Her work focuses extensively on climate change\, species extinction\, and the interconnectivity of human and natural worlds. Through video\, digital animation\, photography\, drawing\, performance\, and collage\, Rodriguez merges and blends mediums to create new pictorial spaces for aesthetic\, emotional\, and conceptual connection and exploration. \nLegends Breathe is an ongoing and immersive video installation that explores the power of creativity and the imagination in overcoming trauma. Based on interviews with female-identified and non-binary artists about childhood fantasies\, Legends Breathe comprises a series of video portraits that bring these fantasies to life and as part of processes of healing and survival. As an immersive installation\, Legends Breathe speaks to resilience and finding strength through a deep connection to the natural world. Each video work is populated by endangered species and threatened habitats\, conveying a link between the trauma and healing of our planet and that of the individual. \nRodriguez’s work has been exhibited internationally\, throughout the country\, and extensively in the New England region. She has created immersive installations for traditional and non-traditional spaces and venues such as the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum\, Milton Academy\, Installation Space\, Gallery 360 at Northeastern University\, Smack Mellon\, Fitchburg Art Museum\, and the Boston Center for the Arts.
