Mar Grogan is a first-year MFA candidate at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She is currently working and living in the Greater Boston area in Massachusetts. Born and raised in Texas, she received her BFA in Painting at University of Houston. Grogan’s artistic practice revolves around painting and printmaking, with an interest in the relationship between memory and how imagery is used when reconstructing it. She is currently exploring how personal photographs serve as evidence of moments we may not clearly remember, and how those images can change as they are reinterpreted through material and recollecting. Her current work explores how various mediums such as silkscreen, painting, monotype, and image transfer can build upon one another in an additive manner, continually recontextualizing a moment.
