Artist Statement

I am a Guelph based artist whose work integrates abstract forms and mark-marking as a means to explore repetition, deconstruction and collage. By combining paint, monotype printing, and hand dyed fabric techniques, my aim is to reveal the vulnerabilities of both memory and materials. 

Mary Calarco (she/her) graduated from the Interdisciplinary Studies program at the Ontario College of Art (OCAD University). Her artwork can be found in private collections across Canada.

I have extensive experience in arts administration, fine art/craft adjudication, and event management. My community outreach work extends across the private, public and non profit sectors. (One of a Kind Show, Craft Ontario, City of Guelph, ArtsSmarts, Guelph Arts Council)
