Although academically trained at the New York Arts Student League, since 1994 Mary Sherman has been creating work that seeks to stretch the definition of painting beyond its traditional role as a flat, immutable and silent image on a wall, leading her to explore a variety of new media and computer modeling programs. Her works have been widely exhibited both nationally and internationally, including at New York City's Trans Hudson Gallery, Maine's Institute of Contemporary Art, New Hampshire's Currier Museum of Art, Chicago's Oskar Friedl Gallery, Seoul's Kwanhoon Art Gallery, Venice's Instituto Universitario d'Architettura di Venezia, the London Biennale and Vienna's WUK Kunsthalle. She has received grants or fellowships from the Boston Cultural Council, LEF Foundation, Ragdale Foundation, National Portrait Gallery (Washington DC) and New York University. She also writes criticism for a number of publications, has curated shows both in the United States and abroad, and is the president of the award winning TransCultural Exchange, dedicated to fostering a greater understanding of other cultures through artists-run ventures. Along with teaching painting and drawing at Boston College, she has taught at MIT, Northeastern University, and Emmanuel College.
