RACHEL PERRY WELTY
Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 7pm

Rachel Perry Welty's body of work exposes the underlying beauty of disposable materials- transforming mundane objects found in our everyday lives in visually surprising ways. Solo exhibitions include the Barbara Krakow Gallery in Boston, the Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York City, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. Welty resides in Needham, Massachusetts, and maintains a studio on Boston's Fort Point Channel. She earned a Fifth-Year Certificate from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is a two-time winner of the school's Traveling Scholars Award.
