Welcome to our SUMMER 2025 ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE!

Mara Baldwin, Scott Carter, Maritea Dæhlin and Estephania Gonzalez

Our residency will be enriched by artists who explore the intersections of art, activism, identity, and environmental justice. Their work engages with both personal and universal narratives, offering unique perspectives and creative approaches that promise to inspire and provoke thought within our community. We look forward to the dynamic contributions they will bring to our program. 

Mara Baldwin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on the impossible dream of utopia and asks if a perfect life can include the imperfect feelings of failure, loneliness, and dissatisfaction. Baldwin's labor-intensive mark-making, textile manipulation, and sculpture examine the roles of imagination as a tool for both artist and utopian, the depth of women’s experience and past lives, and the earnestness of present-day feminism and queerness.

Sculptural artist Scott Carter creates objects and installations that exist in a liminal space between art, architecture, design and sound. As both a musician and a visual artist, Carter’s practice highlights a struggle for clarity and satisfaction through the act of intertwining both fields. Motivation, procrastination, failure, and nostalgia often become entangled in this pursuit. This results in creative works attempting to fill a personal void, need or desire.

Maritea Dæhlin splits her focus between video, performance art, sound, theater, and text as she also divides her time between Norway and Mexico. Both art and life are shaped by shifting geographies and contexts leaving space for interpretation, misunderstanding, and lost words.

Continuous adaptation to different realities has become central to Dæhlin’s artistic practice, a constant dialogue with spaces, places, and their paradoxes.

Interdisciplinary artist Estephania González explores the intersections of environmental injustice, identity, and our spiritual connection to both land and cosmos. She draws inspiration from physics, spacetime theories, and pre-Columbian cosmologies. Gozalez’s work is deeply attuned to the tensions between belonging and displacement, tradition and assimilation. These become immersive experiences spanning video, installation, performance, and sculpture.
