Artist's Talk: Madeline Donahue with Curator Michelle Millar Fisher

How did a working artist mother of a newborn and a pre-schooler manage her studio practice in the year of the COVID pandemic?

Join us on April 26 at 7pm EST for a conversation between our next solo exhibiting artist, Madeline Donahue, and curator Michelle Millar Fisher, the Ronald C. and Anita L. Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as well as a co-founder of Designing Motherhood.

For Donahue, the pandemic hitting in March 2020 created a shift in her practice. The residency program she had started at Artshack Brooklyn, a ceramics studio, was shuttered. Her painting studio building in Bushwick closed. With her young children in tow, she quarantined with in-laws, balancing an art practice with the physical and emotional needs of her children. Madeline’s solo exhibition, Fun House, is one that explores both the joy and complexities of being a mother during this time.

Madeline’s work will be on display ay Praise Shadows Art Gallery from April 22 to May 23.
