OUR TEAM

Founder & Director: Susie Matthews has been making and showing her artwork in Rhode Island for over 25 years. As a ceramist, Susie navigates the gray areas and intersections between art and design, sculpture, and functional objects. She believes all types of art should be valued, creativity should be encouraged, and that art should be incorporated into our lives as much as possible.

Gallery Co-Director and Curator Alicia Renadette is an actively exhibiting artist focused on object and material transformations. She approaches curation as a collaborative endeavor that creates connections and builds dialogue.
