Bio

The human figure has been a staple of Marta Gorski’s work from the early stages; inspired by landscapes in nature and the body, her work aims to explore the consequence of intimacy through alternative perspectives. Gorski works primarily in concept-driven installation art, her process is supported by an effort to generate empathy through conceptual experiences. Marta is a Canadian-born installation artist, currently living in Oakland, CA. In 2010 she earned a Bachelor of Fine Art (major in glass) from the Alberta College of Art + Design, after graduating Gorski began working in educational strategy for the Canadian Red Cross. This leads her to complete a Master's Degree in Business Administration at the San Francisco + New York campuses of Hult International Business School. Since graduating Gorski has been working to combine her knowledge and passion for the arts, education, and business development. Gorski is developing a consulting practice that supports career artists in better understanding the economics of their work. In addition, she is developing a curriculum and teaching at the Alberta University of the Arts in Canada while continuously developing her own artistic practice. Her most recent exhibitions include collaboration “Cromaea” at Pilchuck Gallery in Seattle Washington and “TouchStop” at ProArts Gallery + Commons in Oakland California.
