How we feel about our Artist in Residence program:
“We established the Artist in Residence program to provide the community with access to an artist who engages them in a variety of ways about art by sharing their unique experiences, processes and purpose,” says Aylin Green, Executive Director, West Windsor Arts. “It’s also a great opportunity for the artist to share their work with our passionate audience and to participate in a meaningful exchange of ideas.”

Dr. Maria Lupo on her art: My work is influenced greatly by the power of myth and fairy tales to inform and understand my own biographical journey through universal stories and themes. Personally, I am longing to belong to be accepted and to find my sense of place which as a child did not exist in my world. A stranger in a strange land displaced, disjointed…alone. My creative process is stimulated by various and unusual materials while enjoying their lush and tactile properties. Transcending the use of traditional materials, my work includes such materials as: topsoil, teabags, fabric, faux flowers, recycled materials.
