Biography: Griffin Mariani is 14 years old and a 9th grader at Eaglebrook School. He lives in Montague, with his parents, brother Gavin, and Golden Retriever named Bozeman. Griffin enjoys taking art classes, travelling with his family, and is an avid hockey player. Artist Statement: I’ve taken many art classes as electives at school, including 2D Art, stone carving and stained glass, but ceramics has really resonated with me. I like working in this medium because I get to be creative and make something I can both admire and use in everyday life. My teacher Jaye Pope has been my guide and inspiration. I create pieces through hand building, coil techniques and throwing on the wheel. Each piece is hand glazed and fired in a kiln. I learn something new with every piece I create and continue to perfect my techniques. My favorite pieces combine hand thrown pots with pieces of stained glass on the bottom. The way the glass melts on the bottom always leaves a cool effect.
Drawings & Paintings by Leo. All proceeds from the sale of Leo's artwork support the autism community. Leo, a youth artist with an autism diagnosis, enjoys creating seasonal scenes, vehicles of all kinds, animals, and various landscapes. While drawing is his first love, Leo is very creative at using shapes and other materials, morphing them into various objects. A resident of Dedham, Leo strives to progress each day to live his best life. During the pandemic, art was one of Leo's primary activities. Through his artwork, he remembered the many things he loved but couldn't do because of social distancing. He used artwork during physical therapy sessions that became virtual during the pandemic-working on balance while he created themed, chalkboard drawing. Artwork was a source of happiness and self-regulation during such an unsettling time when Leo's school and supporting therapies were halted. Find MOLA on Instagram
