“It’s wonderful to have my new venue to feature underrepresented female voices in sustainability. Different styles, different voices, one focus – the fragility of our earth. I’d like to call on people who want to support local mid-career female artists and sustainable culture.”
– Founder, Diana Stelin

Stephanie Maria
Stephanie Maria is a second-generation Mexican American artist whose work explores identity, cultural memory, and our changing relationship with the natural world. Working across painting, installation, and decorative arts, she paints on board, vintage silver and porcelain, often juxtaposing European decorative motifs with pre-Columbian Mixtec patterns and references to Chicano culture. Her surrealist landscapes and richly layered compositions reflect a deep love for the natural world alongside grief over its destruction, drawing on imagery of wildfires, extreme weather, and disappearing habitats. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University, Maria has exhibited nationally, including recent shows at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, Colorado, and the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, Louisiana.

Martha Heller
Martha Heller creates quilts, textile sculptures, wall hangings, and framed works using recovered textiles and natural dye processes. Her practice is rooted in the flowers and leaves that grow in her own garden, using natural dyes, inks, paints, and hammered flowers to capture their colors and impressions directly on cloth. Working within the brief window of each growing season, she explores the fleeting nature of beauty and the increasing fragility of the natural world. Originally exhibiting as a ceramic artist, Martha returned to her own art practice after a decade-long career in costume design. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Tennessee, and she is a member of several arts and environmental organizations, including i3C (Inspiring Change for the Climate Crisis).

Joyce Hempstead
Joyce Hempstead is a Boston-based representational painter whose work explores the quiet, often overlooked moments that connect people to one another and to their surroundings. Working in oils with a vibrant palette and a strong emphasis on light and color, she captures everything from the brilliance of early spring sunlight to the solitude of a child absorbed in a book. While her subjects include landscapes and still lifes, her primary focus is the human figure and the ways ordinary gestures can resonate with memory and experience. Joyce holds an MFA from Boston University and returned to painting in 2022 after a career in design and communications. Her work appears regularly in juried exhibitions throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Sharin Schober
Sharin Schober is a Boston-based contemporary artist whose richly textured abstract paintings explore memory, transformation, and our emotional connection to place. Originally from the Canary Islands, she draws inspiration from natural landscapes, weathered surfaces, stone, water, and light, reflecting on how our surroundings shape our sense of belonging. Working intuitively with acrylic and mixed media, Schober builds, obscures, scratches away, and reveals layers, allowing traces of each stage to remain within the finished work. Her restrained palettes and tactile surfaces balance movement with quiet reflection, inviting viewers to slow down and discover landscapes—both real and imagined—within each piece.
