Andy Mauery is an artist who finds interest in works that are unheroic: quieter,
contemplative, more likely to offer questions than provide answers. Her material
choices often reference the body; and her drawings, objects, and installations tend to
be organized into groupings, each grouping an exploration/investigation of recurring
subjects or problems (Extinction, Mortality, Boundaries…).

Mauery has organized several large and small collaborative projects, from directing a
community-based arts festival outside of Pittsburgh to developing an informal
species-extinction workshop, and also continues her investment in studio pieces. This
work is comprised of installations, and some discrete objects, that explore issues of
identity and mortality; and the line at which a thing ceases to be.

Mauery has been at artist in residence at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts,
Vermont Studio Center, and Tesuque Glassworks (New Mexico). Currently she is an
Associate Professor of Art, and the Foundations Coordinator, at the University of
Maine in Orono.
