Maeve D’Arcy earned her MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins. Her work has been exhibited in London, Ireland, and New York at Topaz Arts, Lazy Susan Gallery, and Trestle Gallery among others. Her residencies include Yaddo, Jentel, The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Saltonstall. D’Arcy’s work explores the ideas of time and space. She uses mark making to represent time in seconds, minutes, and hours as well as dots, lines, and shapes to evoke flashbacks, daydreams, and nightmares.

Monica Banks’s work has been exhibited at White Box, Spring Break Art Fair, The Heckscher Museum of Art, The Carriage House at the Islip Art Museum, The Parrish Art Museum, The New Britain Museum of American Art, The Center for Architecture in New York City, among other venues. Her block-long sculpture “Faces: Times Square” stood in Times Square from 1996 to 2009. Her work combines new ceramic vessels and utensils with other porcelain pieces that she crafted earlier in her career. These pieces of tableware explore the subversive power of domesticity, aiming to evoke daily experiences of celebration and despair in table settings.
