Our faculty member Bernardo Giorgi has welcomed some fuzzy new guests to be part of our school’s community! They are already helping with cutting the grass and making sure scraps from the garden are not wasted!

We are delighted to be hosting Suzanne Mathew for a May 2022 residency at the Siena Art Institute.
A registered landscape architect with a multidisciplinary background, she is an Associate Professor at RISD.

Her research techniques range from developing tools to document changes in environmental phenomena such as light, temperature and sound to experimenting with hand and digital methods for drawing spaces that change over time. She has published and presented her work on temporal and dynamic spaces both nationally and internationally, including articles in the recent publications Representing Landscapes: Hybrid (Amoroso) and Innovations in Landscape Architecture (Anderson and Ortega). With a background in science, architecture and landscape architecture, she focuses on the relationship between human infrastructures and environmental resilience. Recent work has included consulting for the Mayor’s Institute on City Design, working with the National Parks Service to develop visitor experience strategies (as part of a team selected through the National Parks Now Competition) and presenting climate resilience strategies at the Newport Historical Society’s Keeping History Above Water conference.

Mathew has earned a number of awards, including multiple ASLA Honor Awards, the Stanley and Helen Abbot Award for Excellence in Landscape Design, The Ken Roberts Memorial Award for Excellence in Hand Delineation and the AIA Washington DC UnBuilt Honor Award. In addition to teaching at RISD, she has worked as a designer and project manager at Landworks Studio in Boston, overseeing projects in locations ranging from Cambridge, MA to Nanjing, China.

Looking forward to Thursday’s opening at @lombardiartegallery_siena with one of our current residents ANGERAMI] !

ANGERAMI] is a visual artist and educator based in Sao Paolo Brazil. His work is divided between the studio and outdoor activities, often with local and indigenous Brazilian communities. He understands art and education as agents of transformation in the same continuous process within society. Angerami uses drawing, painting, sculpture-installation, printmaking, video, photography and urban interventions to support his research.

His works are present in permanent collections of international institutions, such as, among others, the Kyoto International Printmaking Association in Japan. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Brazil and around the world.

Angerami earned his Master in Fine Arts at New York University, and previously received his BFA and Visual Arts Teaching License in Brazil from the Faculdade de Belas Artes de Sao Paulo.

A collection of images from our Spring Show 2022 opening, held on Saturday April 23, featuring the work carried out by the artists of the Siena Art Institute and by the students of the Siena School for Liberal Arts during their semester of residence in Siena.
The event was enriched by the open studio of artists-in-residence Mo Abd-Ulla from Iraq and Angerami from Brazil, and the public was able to explore their workspaces and view their work in progress.
