Maria will be in Boston for the opening reception of the 2017 North America Print Biennial this Saturday. Her piece “The Adventurous Soul” is part of the exhibition and received the Hiromi Paper award. National Gallery of Art Curator and Boston Printmakers’ Juror Judith Brodie quoted Maria in her essay “Outmoded”  where she discusses that “the touchscreen culture is leaving many artists hungering for labor-intensive, hands-on experiences.”

Maria’s travel to Boston is generously funded by a travel grant through the Canada Council for the Arts, which last year invested $153 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country.

The City of Saint John Gallery at the Saint John Arts Centre presents
Maria Doering – “Cells, Souls and Personalities” and “Internal Dialogues”.
The two exhibitions open today, Friday September 8th at 5:30pm – 7:30pm and will run until October 28th, 2017. Maria will be giving an artist talk in the Gallery on September 20th at noon.

Maria will be the printmaker-in-residence at the Saint John Arts Centre until the end of September where she will be working on a new body of work.

During her stay she will be offering 3 workshops at the Arts Centre, please visit the SJAC website for more information.

This project is supported generously by Arts Nova Scotia and by Canada Council for the Arts, which last year invested $153 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country.
