Noontime Artist Talk: DM Witman

  • Portland Museum of Art 7 Congress Square Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Free to members or with admission 

Join us every Friday at noon for a 30-minute gallery talk with curators, artists, and community voices exploring art, the PMA Collection, and creative practice.

Join artist DM Witman for a talk on the exhibition Jo Sandman: Skin Deep, and the learn about the artist’s connection to materiality and form.  
 
DM Witman is a transdisciplinary artist navigating climate disruption–at the intersection of presence/absence, resiliency, and ecology–relying on both archival impulses and ephemerality. Her creative practice is an act of bearing witness, memorial, and synthesizing that which is existentially urgent–at once both a lament for what has been lost, and a call to action to cultivate care and resilience as stewards for what remains.  

Her work has appeared in more than 120 solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. She has been selected for artist-residencies such as Ellis-Beauregard Foundation in Rockland, Maine; Monson Arts, Maine; How to Flatten A Mountain, Ireland. Witman’s work resides in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Portland Museum of Art, Portland, Maine, and is placed within many private collections.
