MAGGIE NOWINSKI | CLOSING RECEPTION FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 9th 6-8pm
Featuring Live Jazz Piano by Rob Fontana
Maggie Nowinski (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist and teaching artist based in Western Massachusetts. Her current body of work is rooted in drawing and printmaking, though her artworks usually take the format of installation and combine traditional and unusual media, audio, and performative processes. Her work investigates somatic response to cultural pace, internal and external undercurrents and emotions through imagined specimen drawings that appear as abject biological-botanical resilient entities. Nowinski’s practice is embodied by an awareness of the conceptual and political inevitability of art making and an adoration for repetition, daily mark-making and walks in the woods. She often collaborates with other visual artists, sound artists and poets.
Nowinksi received her BFA in painting from the State University of New York at New Paltz and her MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is currently a Visiting Artist at Mount Holyoke College and a Visiting Lecturer at Smith College. She frequently exhibits throughout the Northeast though her work has been in numerous exhibitions nationally and collected internationally. Nowinski is the recipient of multiple awards and grants and has been featured in many interviews and articles. She was recently featured in an artist spotlight called “Drawing (un)limited” in Art Spiel.

You can hear her speak about her recent installation A Whole Recollection here and other works in (413)Art.
