described her recent relationship with the artists as a moment for her to “fan-girl”. Mare has collected work from all three artists over the years, and just recently reached out to them via Instagram for the show. “I actually completed my undergrad with Kristin!,” Mare remarked. “It wasn’t until this show that I reconnected with her, but I have been collecting her artwork for years.” “Her work will include her VIT Ceramics white line series, interpreting modern styles in contemporary ways.” Even though
