Since its inception in 2018, Mother Gallery has included a self-directed invitational residency program as an important part of its mission—providing artists with large, private studio spaces at a pivotal stage in their career.

Invitational Resident #4:
Winter 2021-2022

Adam Amram (b. 1994 Haifa, Israel, lives and works in California) creates paintings that are best characterized by their brilliant color space and fantastical narratives, which contemplate the challenges of life and relish in the remarkability of existence. Amram attended the Yale School of Art Norfolk Summer Fellowship (2015), and was an Artist in Residence at the Vermont Studio Center, in Johnson VT (2018). Amram was recently named the 2019-2020 YoungArts Daniel Arsham Fellow. He earned a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2016.

Invitational Resident #3:
Winter 2020-2021

Emilie Louise Gossiaux (b. 1989 New Orleans, lives and works New York) is an interdisciplinary artist who invokes drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations to represent such experiences as visions, dreams, memories, and verbal descriptions. Creating works based on internal imagery, she relies on her sense of touch as a substitute for sight to recall the shape and scale of a person, place, or thing in relation to her body. Gossiaux has received several honors, including The John F. Kennedy Center’s VSA Prize for Excellence (2013), Elliot Lash Memorial Prize for Excellence in Sculpture (2014), Wynn Newhouse Award (2018), and Dumfries House Residency in Scotland, selected by the Royal Drawing School (2018). She received her BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art in 2014, and MFA from Yale University in Sculpture in 2019.

Invitational Resident #2:
Winter 2019-2020

Caitlin MacQueen (b. 1982 New Jersey, Lives and works in New York) makes paintings, drawings and sculptures. MacQueen’s work starts with hazy screen grabs, but while painting she makes crucial changes, recasting or removing figures, slowly building the painting until the right mood is calibrated.  She forms textural, careworn surfaces, eschewing “fresh” paint for congealed, embedding the figures, spaces and colors. MacQueen was granted an MFA from Rutgers, Mason Gross in 2015 and a BFA from Cooper Union in 2008.
