Wylie Garcia investigates themes of identity and place through process andmaterial-oriented projects. Using cross disciplinary mediums such astextiles, painting, drawing, sound, and performance, Garcia explores issuesrelated to gender, devotion, and emotional spaces. Garcia has a BA from the University of Chicago and an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art andDesign. She is the 2019 winner of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and a Vermont Arts Council Creation Grant. She also won the 2016 Barbara Smail
Fellowship and Award from Burlington City Arts and a 2016 Vermont Arts Council Creation Grant. Her work has been shown in solo and group shows across the U.S. and she has held residencies at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, among others. Garcia's studio is in Charlotte, Vermont.
Her newest body of work, Tending Constellations, ruminate on caring for untenable things that we wish to hold onto but are beyond our control to tame. Drawing inspiration from Antoine de Saint- Exupéry's "The Little Prince", Maggie Nelson's "Bluets", Rainer Maria Rilke Poetry and researching the way ritual acts as a portal for connection into states of being and beyond being, this group of paintings will culminate in a solo show this August 2022.
