  • Reviews (0)

My current work has taken on the role of narrative, personal in conception yet universal in its interaction with the viewer. Most of my work is a reflection of me, my feelings, my interpretations, my memories, and opinions. They are collections and assemblages that evoke introspection regarding the self, institutions, and expectations. The narratives I express through ceramic sculpture, mixed media, and photography express gender identity, relationships, moral and political issues.

BIOGRAPHY
Ms. Gahrmann attended the College of New Jersey majoring in Art Education and received her Masters of Arts in Art Education with a ceramic concentration from Kean University. Ms.Gahrmann has been an exhibiting artist and secondary art educator since 1980 as well as a Geraldine R. Dodge fellow.
