Artists Bio:
Matthew Murphy is a Boston based artist working with shaped canvas. Murphy's process involves creating custom-made stretcher bars, over which he stretches the canvas to achieve the desired shape and dimensions. He has shown at Mass Art, Western CT State University, the University of Arkansas and New Bedford Museum of Art. He has a BFA from Mass College of Art in Boston and an MFA from the University of Washington in Seattle. Most recently he has curated a show at Boston University titled Field Visions. He has been artist in residence at Siena Art Institute in Italy and a forthcoming residency at the Joseph and Anni Albers Foundation in Ireland.
Oriane Stender is a time intensive, ancient technique artist and maker who was born in San Francisco and based in Brooklyn, New York. Her pieces of hand-dyed threads and woven tapestries evoke the timeless tradition of women's craftsmanship found across many cultures. After receiving her education from the San Francisco Art
Institute and UC Berkeley, Oriane has exhibited her geometric abstraction tapestry paintings nationally and internationally.
Jessica Tawczynski is a Boston based multidisciplinary 2D artist known for her wild paper-based works that incorporate collage, accumulation of found materials and map-making to create anthropomorphic caricatures of places and landscapes. Her works explore various stages of emotional intelligence and reference the sublime components of an environment under constant transformation, reflecting upon the climate crisis, and her own feminine identity. She received her BFA from University of Massachusetts, Lowell and MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston. She is also the founder of Inside Voices Art and has participated in international residencies and exhibitions.
