Celebrate the conclusion of Cristina Querrer's residency with an exhibition of new works created during her time at The Cottage. Featuring mixed media works and process materials, the exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into an evolving body of work exploring memory, inheritance, and place. The artist will be present to discuss the work.

She earned her MFA in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts from Western Connecticut State University and has exhibited throughout New England. Her work has been recognized through the Connecticut Urban Artist Initiative Fellowship and other awards. Querrer is also the author of multiple books and performs electronic music under the name CQ.
