Broadly\, Maria&rsquo\;s work joins that of other research-driven artists in arguing for art as an important form of research itself\, generating new knowledge through creative practice. In this lecture\, learn how Maria approaches making her artwork about animals from a research-based lens. \;A free luncheon with the artist will follow the presentation.
