In the Studio

Rayna Lo is an artist living in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She is a calligrapher, illustrator, and educator and a second generation Taiwanese American born in Chicago, IL. 

In studying traditional Chinese calligraphy and illustration through westernized lenses, she bridges traditional Asian and contemporary art. And when she needs a break from studying her Taiwanese culture, she likes designing fun animals such as her Bear Mindful characters.

Christian Restrepo is a Boston-based American/Colombian maker and the architect of SIGILO, a body of work that echos those ideas of the alchemist, with pieces created in a slow-cooked manner. Using unusual and mundane materials, he explores intimate and human emotions through an obsessive, almost ritualistic process, learning to look at things not for what they are, but rather for what they could be. Obsessed with the process, it defines the results.

Named a “one-woman dynamo” by The Boston Globe and Boston’s Best 2018 "Creative Catalyst" by The Improper Bostonian, Maria Finkelmeier is a percussionist, composer, public artist, educator, and arts entrepreneur. Maria has created large-scale multimedia events in public spaces from Cincinnati to Northern Sweden, with several locations in Boston, including Fenway Park, Charlestown Navy Yard, Edison Power Plant, and the Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum.
