Sculpture

As an artist, my goal is to create liminal spaces where viewers can escape the constraints of reality and enter a world of vivid color, play, and joy. Through my work, I aim to explore the boundaries of the traditional art world and push the limits of what is possible.

Lauren is a stay-at-home mom of two young children, who paints in her spare time. She resides in Somerville, Massachusetts, and enjoys painting scenes from her surroundings: the sky, local haunts, and her children. In high school, she enjoyed painting large murals, and studied painting and sculpture at Gordon College. She then spent over five years working with and teaching ceramics, including designing and overseeing several community ceramic installation projects at the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Boston and Roxbury.

Paige Mazurek is a multidisciplinary artist. Her work is a celebration of the everyday, drawing inspiration from observations within the American landscape and her own personal history. Memory, both individual and collective, is a continuous thread throughout her body of work. In 2011, she earned a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts + Tufts University and in 2019 she earned a graduate certificate in audio storytelling from the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at the Maine College of Art.

Eric Pow, that’s my name, an American born Chinese living with a foot in two different cultures.  I try to reflect my blend of cultures in the Art/Design that I create. In the summer of 2012, I started my Etsy store, POWpaper.  It was really a way of clearing space so I could continue to create more pieces.  I had found that many people loved what I was doing and my passion grew. Year after year I have met new people gaining much experience and translate them into into paper art.  As of 2015 my part-time small business is now my full-time small business.

We’re Zooguu, and we make high quality handmade décor for people who like to have fun. Don’t worry, no actual (or stuffed!) animals are harmed in the making. Jen Gubicza is the designer and maker behind Zooguu. Jen graduated with a BFA in graphic design from MICA in 2001 and worked as a Graphic Designer & Creative Director at Big Blue Dot and the Boston Children’s Museum. In 2004, Jen started designing and sewing her own creatures as a hobby to get back to the enjoyment she feels when making things by hand vs. mainly on a computer.

We're Maddie and Justin Copp of Copp Creature Shop
