"I render the human figure because it is the vessel that consciousness lives in. The familiarity of the human form enables my audience to connect with the context of each piece. "
Gwendolyn Lanier is a visual artist based in Lowell Massachusetts whose body of work has been centered around utilizing sculpture and drawing to explore her personal spirituality. Each medium produces a visual language that assists in making Lanier's interior world visible. The result is a mystic reality of surreal and visionary imagery. In 2009, Lanier received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of the Fine Arts/ Tufts University in Boston. Lanier was the recipient of the 2009 Albert Pratt Travelling Grant which enabled her to study ceramic figurative Art in Florence, Italy. Lanier is currently a teaching artist and ceramic studio technician at the Essex Art Center in Lawrence MA and an artist member at the Attleboro Arts Museum in Attleboro MA.
